Proverbs 31

The Woman Who Fears the Lord

10 * 31:10 Verses 10–31 are an acrostic poem, each verse beginning with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet *ch. 12:4;Ruth 3:11;[ch. 18:22; 19:14] An excellent wife who can find?

She is far more precious than *Job 28:18jewels.

11 The heart of her husband trusts in her,

and he will have no lack of gain.

12 She does him good, and not harm,

all the days of her life.
