Proverbs 31:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Proverbs 31:10

8 ^aOpen your mouth for the speechless,
In the cause of all who are¹ appointed to die.

9 Open your mouth, ^ajudge righteously,
And ^bplead the cause of the poor and needy.

10 ^aWho¹ can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies.

11 The heart of her husband safely trusts her;
So he will have no lack of gain.

12 She does him good and not evil
All the days of her life.

13 She seeks wool and flax,
And willingly works with her hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
She brings her food from afar.

15 ^aShe also rises while it is yet night,
And ^bprovides food for her household,
And a portion for her maidservants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
From¹ her profits she plants a vineyard.

17 She girds herself with strength,
And strengthens her arms.

18 She perceives that her merchandise is good,
And her lamp does not go out by night.

19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff,
And her hand holds the spindle.

20 ^aShe extends her hand to the poor,
Yes, she reaches out her hands to the needy.
