Proverbs 31

Description of a Worthy Woman

10 *31:10 The following verses are written as an acrostic poem (each of the twenty-two verses begins with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet). Aside from the artistry, the acrostic structure also aided memorization.An excellent woman [one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous], who is he who can find her?

Her value is more precious than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls. [Prov 12:4; 18:22; 19:14]

11 The heart of her husband trusts in her [with secure confidence],

And he will have no lack of gain.

12 She comforts, encourages, and does him only good and not evil

All the days of her life.
