• (Schin) Here we have the secret of her devoted, virtuous life. She fears the Lord. This, which our book has declared to be the beginning of wisdom, is her abiding characteristic. Her words, her ways, her dress, and her household discipline, are all ordered as in His presence. Others may pride themselves on their beauty, or endeavor to obtain favor by winning words and pleasing manners; but if there be no true character behind such charms, the day will soon come when praise will give place to contempt; while she who fears Jehovah will be honored by all who appreciate virtue and excellence of spirit. Her beneficent labors too will receive their public and well-merited recognition. (“Proverbs Thirty-One” by H.A. Ironside)
