Gov Palin example of famous Bible role model

Something that grated on me during the era of the hippies is that they, especially the women “feminists” would have the nerve to quote one passage from the Bible about themselves. Yes, they would ignore and deny and defame God and the Bible yet have the nerve to cite (including on marketing catalogs and so forth) one single passage from the Bible, in self admiration of their hippy-dippy “artistic skills.” Here is the passage they would smugly quote:

Proverbs 31:10, 13
…She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far about rubies or pearls…She seeks out wool and flax and works with willing hands [to develop it]. (Amplified Bible).

Oh my God, the NERVE! This is an extract of reference to one “artistic” endeavor (weaving) and then breaking their own arms slapping themselves on the back on how they are “worth more than rubies.” I am as outraged by this today as I was when I witnessed this in the 1970’s-1980’s.

Well, I’ve got a shock for you. I’ve blogged the ENTIRE Proverb reading before but I’m going to do it again here and this time ask you: Don’t you think of Governor Sarah Palin rather than some cheap hippy dippy “artiste?”

Proverbs 31:10-31

10. A capable, intelligent, and virtuous woman-who is he who can find her? She is far more precious than jewels and her value is far above rubies or pearls.

11. The heart of her husband trusts in her confidently and relies on and believes in her security, so that he has no lack of [honest] gain or need of [dishonest] spoil.

12. She comforts, encourages, and does him only good as long as there is life within her.

13. She seeks out wool and flax and works with willing hands [to develop it].

14. She is like the merchant ships loaded with foodstuffs; she brings her household’s food from a far [country].

15. She rises while it is yet night and gets [spiritual] food for her household and assigns her maids their tasks.

16. She considers a [new] field before she buys or accepts it [expanding prudently and not courting neglect of her present duties by assuming other duties]; with her savings [of time and strength] she plants fruitful vines in her vineyard.

17. She girds herself with strength [spiritual, mental, and physical fitness for her God-given task] and makes her arms strong and firm.

18. She tastes and sees that her gain from work [with and for God] is good; her lamp goes not out, but it burns on continually through the night [of trouble, privation, or sorrow, warning away fear, doubt, and distrust].

19. She lays her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.

20. She opens her hand to the poor, yes, she reaches out her filled hands to the needy [whether in body, mind, or spirit].

21. She fears not the snow for her family, for all her household are doubly clothed in scarlet.

22. She makes for herself coverlets, cushions, and rugs of tapestry. Her clothing is of linen, pure and fine, and of purple [such as that of which the clothing of the priests and the hallowed cloths of the temple were made].

23. Her husband is known in the [city’s] gates, when he sits among the elders of the land.

24. She makes fine linen garments and leads others to buy them; she delivers to the merchants girdles [or sashes that free up for service]. ((My note to explain this. People wore loose robes, and when they had to get to work in the fields or so forth they used a belt, which was called girdle or sash, to hitch up their robes so they could work without tripping on their garments. Thus this woman is manufacturing an essential clothing item that enables others to work. By the way, a church in Syria has a genuine sash of the Blessed Virgin Mary.))

25. Strength and dignity are her clothing and her position is strong and secure; she rejoices over the future [the latter day or the time to come, knowing that she and her family are in readiness for it]!

26. She opens her mouth in skillful and godly Wisdom, and on her tongue is the law of kindness [giving counsel and instruction].

27. She looks well to how things go in her household, and the bread of idleness (gossip, discontent, and the self-pity) she will not eat.

28. Her children rise up and call her blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied); and her husband boasts of and praises her, [saying],

29. “Many daughters have done virtuously, nobly, and well (with the strength of character that is steadfast in goodness], but you excel them all.”

30. Charm and grace are deceptive, and beauty is vain [because it is not lasting], but a woman who reverently and worshipfully fears the Lord, she shall be praised!

31. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates [of the city]!

It is the model of a God fear conservative woman who is described in the Bible, not liberal whack jobs that destroy the family, pimp abortions and work as “design consultants.” Any liberal idiot who actually read the Bible and had some humility would also recognize the elevated role of such a woman and her crucial and dignified role in the faith community, the economy and most importantly her family and household. Conservative women “do it all,” it is the liberal women who are in direct opposition to the model described herein in Proverbs.
