PROVERBS CHAPTER 14



He speaks of the woman not to exclude the man, of whom this is no less true, but because the women, especially in those times, were very industrious in managing their husbands’ estates; of which see Pr 31.



Buildeth her house; maintaineth and improveth her family and estate, as this phrase is used, Exo_1:21 2Sa_7:11 Psa_127:1.



Plucketh it down with her hands; either by her idleness and not using her hands, or by her foolish and sinful courses.
