Pro 31:8 | MHM | STEP | v. 8-9 : Finally, the mother tells her son to use his power to help others. Open your mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy (Proverbs 31:8-9 ). A good leader should defend those who cannot speak for themselves and stand up for justice, especially for the poor and weak. This is true leadership—using your position to protect and help others, not just yourself.
