Proverbs 31:10-27 Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.… 1. The person inquired after. A virtuous woman is a woman of strength. Though the weaker vessel, yet made strong by wisdom and grace and the fear of God. A woman of spirit, who has the command of her own spirit, and knows how to manage other people's, one that is pious and industrious, and a helpmeet for a man. A woman of resolution. 2. The difficulty of meeting such an one. Good women are very scarce, and many that seem to be so do not prove so. 3. The unspeakable value of such an one, and the value which he that hath such a wife ought to put upon her, showing it by his thankfulness to God, and his kindness and respect to her, whom he must never think he can do too much for.
