??The Words of Lemuel
1?The words of King Lemuel, the pronouncement which his mother taught him:
2?What, my son?
And what, a son of my womb?
And what, son of my b vows?
3?a Do not give your strength to women,
Or your ways to that which b destroys kings.
4?It is not for a kings, Lemuel,
It is not for kings to b drink wine,
Or for rulers to desire intoxicating drink,
5?Otherwise they will drink and forget what is decreed,
And a pervert the 1 rights of all the 2 needy.
6?Give intoxicating drink to one who is a perishing,
And wine to one 1 b whose life is bitter.
7?Let him drink and forget his poverty,
And remember his trouble no more.
8?a Open your mouth for the people who cannot speak,
For the 1 rights of all the 2 unfortunate.
9?Open your mouth, a judge righteously,
And 1 defend the b rights of the poor and needy.
Description of a Worthy Woman

11?The heart of her husband trusts in her,
And he will have no lack of gain.

And b gives food to her household,
And 1 portions to her attendants.
16?She considers a field and buys it;
From 1 her earnings she plants a vineyard.
17?She a surrounds her waist with strength
And makes her arms strong.
18?She senses that her profit is good;
Her lamp does not go out at night.
19?She stretches out her hands to the 1 distaff,
And her 2 hands grasp the spindle.
20?She 1 a extends her hand to the poor,
And she stretches out her hands to the needy.
21?She is not afraid of the snow for her household,
For all her household are a clothed with scarlet.
22?She makes a coverings for herself;
Her clothing is b fine linen and c purple.
23?Her husband is known a in the gates,
When he sits among the elders of the land.
24?She makes a linen garments and sells them,
And 1 supplies belts to the 2 tradesmen.
25?Strength and a dignity are her clothing,
And she smiles at the 1 future.
26?She a opens her mouth in wisdom,
And the 1 teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
27?She watches over the activities of her household,
And does not eat the a bread of idleness.
28?Her children rise up and bless her;
Her husband also, and he praises her, saying:
29?“Many daughters have done nobly,
But you excel them all.â€
30?Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain,
But a woman who 1 a fears the Lord, she shall be praised.
31?Give her the 1 product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates. 1

Revelation From God
Author
The Author of Proverbs for the most part is King Solomon, however Agur (Prov 30:1), and Lemuel (Prov 31:1) who are unknown outside the book of Proverbs, 1 wrote two of the proverbs.
1 John D. Barry et al., Faithlife Study Bible (Bellingham, WA: Lexham Press, 2012, 2016).
King Lemuel, in unknown outside Proverbs and many speculate that is actually King Solomon, which would make the mother Bathsheba!!!!
Date
The true date of all the Proverbs are unknown but we do know that they where written during the reign of Solomon, 971-931 BCE., but after his prayer for wisdom, 1 Kings 3:1-28. ?
History
Historically the Proverbs would parallel Solomon’s reign, except for Prov 30 and Prov 31, in which we know nothing about their historical back ground or context.
Structure
Although the sayings in Proverbs may seem like a random assortment, the collection is actually a curated, unified literary work. The text includes seven distinct groups of proverbs, some of which are attributed to different authors and exhibit two styles of writing. Notably, the first collection’s long discourses on wisdom (Prov 1:1–9:18) contrast with the other six collections’ much shorter sayings (Prov 10:1–31:31). Multiple topics are scattered across these collections. Advice regarding subjects such as laziness (Prov 6:6–11; 10:4; 24:30–34; 26:13), sexual immorality (Prov 5:1–23; 23:26–28; 29:3), humility (Prov 11:2; 25:6–7; 29:23), and friendship (Prov 13:20; 22:24–25; 27:17) can be found throughout the book.
Outline
? Instructions from teacher to student (Prov 1:1–9:18)
? The proverbs of Solomon (Prov 10:1–22:16)
? The words of the wise (Prov 22:17–24:22)
? Further words of the wise (Prov 24:23–34)
? The proverbs of Solomon collected by Hezekiah’s men (Prov 25:1–29:27)
? The words of Agur (Prov 30:1–33)
? The words of Lemuel (Prov 31:1–31)1

The 7 seven distinct groups of proverbs represent the perfect completion of creation, Gen 2:2-3, Rev 22:1-21, Christ Jesus in you,1 Cor 12:1-31, Eph 2:1-22!!!!
A proverb in Hebrew is?
ma^sha^l
maw-shawl'
Apparently from H4910 in some original sense of superiority in mental action; properly a pithy maxim, usually of a metaphorical nature; hence a simile (as an adage, poem, discourse): - byword, like, parable, proverb.
