The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 31:10-31

Christian womanhood If Solomon did write these words, we need not he surprised that he speaks of the rarity of the ideal woman; for she is hardly to be found in a crowded harem. It is the Christian home that contains her. We look at— I. HER CHARACTERISTICS . And these are: 1 . Piety. "She feareth the Lord" ( Proverbs 31:30 ). She has within her the spirit of reverence, and the life she lives is one in which worship and the study of the will of God have no small share. She... read more

GIMEL . She will do him good and not evil (comp. Ec Proverbs 26:1-3 ). She is consistent in her conduct towards her husband, always pursuing his best interests. All the days of her life; in good times or bad, in the early spring time of young affection, and in the waning years of declining age. Her love, based on high principles, knows no change or diminution.

The Pulpit Commentary - Proverbs 31:13

DALETH . She seeketh wool, and flax. She pays attention to these things, as materials for clothing and domestic uses. Wool has been used for clothing from the earliest times (see Le 13:47; Job 31:20 , etc.), and flax was largely cultivated for the manufacture of linen, the processes of drying, peeling, hackling, and spinning being well understood (see Joshua 2:6 ; Isaiah 19:9 ; Jeremiah 13:1 , etc.). The prohibition about mixing wool and flax in a garment ( Deuteronomy 22:11 )... read more

HE . She is like the merchants' ships. She is like them in that she extends her operations beyond her own immediate neighbourhood, and bringeth her food from afar, buying in the best markets and on advantageous terms, without regard to distance, and being always on the look out to make honest profit. Septuagint, "She is like a ship trading from a distance, and she herself gathereth her livelihood.'' The expressions in the text point to active commercial operations by sea as well as land,... read more

Proverbs 31:11-12. The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her For the prudent and faithful management of all his domestic affairs, which are committed to her care; so that he shall have no need of spoil The sense is, either, 1st, He shall want no necessary provisions for his family, which are sometimes called spoil, or prey: or, 2d, He shall not need to use indirect and unlawful courses to get wealth, as by cheating, or oppressing his subjects, or others, as princes have often... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Proverbs 31:13-14

Proverbs 31:13-14. She seeketh wool and flax That she may find employment for her servants, and not suffer them to spend their time unprofitably. And worketh willingly with her hands She encourages them to work by her example; which was a common practice among princesses in those first ages. Not that it is the duty of kings and queens to use manual operations, but it is the duty of all persons, the greatest not excepted, to improve all their talents, and particularly their time, which is... read more

She is energetic and tireless, both in helping the family income and in carrying... read more
