Episode 364: Opening Her Mouth with Wisdom

In Proverbs 31:26, we are told this about the virtuous women: “She opens her mouth with wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.” What are some words of wisdom spoken by wisdom in the Bible? We explore words spoken by six different women from both the Old and New Testaments: Hagar, an Egyptian slave who was given by her mistress Sarai as a concubine to her husband, Abram; Deborah, a judge and priestess in Israel; Ruth, the Moabitess; Hannah, the mother of the last and greatest of Israel’s judges: Samuel; Esther, Queen of the Persian Empire; Martha of Bethany; and Mary, the Mother of Jesus.

Scriptures referenced include Genesis 16; Judges 4:1-7; Ruth 2:1-13; Ruth 3:9; 1 Samuel 2:1-2; Esther 4:15-16; John 11:21-22; and Luke 1:46-55.
