P-13 “But a Woman Who Fears the Lord is to Be Praised”: A Practical Vision in Proverbs 31
Abstract
Proverbs begins with an exposition on what the “fear of the Lord” entails and ends with the description of the woman of noble character who fears the Lord (Proverbs 31:30). As few scholars have considered the woman of Proverbs 31 in connection to the “fear of the Lord,” this project overviews aspects of the “fear of the Lord” in the Old Testament, including all specific verses containing the phrase, and examines the significance of their connections with Proverbs 31. The contributions of this study include theological and practical implications of what it means to live a life fearing the Lord.
