- Abstract
The article presents an examination into the Song of the Valiant Woman found in the Old Testament passage of Proverbs 31:10-31. Topics addressed include particular focus on the significance of the poem as an acrostic spelling out the Hebrew term "sopiyya," confusion in the different ancient versions, and ambiguity in the personification of wisdom related to the passage.
