Why Favour Is Deceitful – According to Proverbs 31:30

One of my favourite scriptures in the Bible is Proverbs 31:30, and the King James Version of it reads, “Favour is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.” I love this scripture because it is a straightforward guide to every young person who is unmarried and hope to be married someday.

However straightforward I think Proverbs 31:30 is, I have always believed that it has a much deeper meaning to it than I always see. For this reason, I decided to probe further and study why favour is deceitful and beauty is vain. In this post, I want to share with you on why favour is deceitful. Another post would be dedicated to looking at why beauty is vain.
