In this episode, we explore Proverbs chapters 28–31, a collection filled with sharp contrasts between the righteous and the wicked, the wise and the foolish, the diligent and the lazy. These chapters stress the importance of integrity—reminding us that trust with God and others is built through honesty, humility, and obedience. We see repeated warnings about greed, injustice, stubbornness, and pride, alongside promises of blessing for those who walk uprightly.
Proverbs 30 introduces the sayings of Agur, giving us poetic reflections on human limitations, the greatness of God, and observations about the world that call us to humility and awe. Finally, Proverbs 31 closes with the words of King Lemuel and the well-known portrait of the virtuous woman—a model of strength, wisdom, compassion, and godly character. Together, these chapters draw us toward a life grounded in righteousness, shaped by discipline, and anchored in the fear of the Lord.
