Proverbs 31:30 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Favour — Comeliness, which commonly gives women favour with those who behold them. Deceitful — It gives a false representation of the person, being often a cover to a deformed soul; it does not give a man that satisfaction, which at first he promised to himself from it; and it is soon lost, not only by death, but by many diseases and contingencies.

Proverbs 31:30

30 Favour is deceitful, and beauty is vain: but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.
