An Excellent Wife

“An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.” (Proverbs 31:10 ESV)

“We now come to the principal part of the chapter. The wise mother of Lemuel had warned her royal son against the seduction of evil women, and its attendant temptations, and given him wholesome rules for government. She now sets before him the full-length portrait of a virtuous woman – that choicest gift, which is emphatically said to be “from the Lord.” (Proverbs 19:14)
