Proverbi 31:22-31

Listen to Proverbi 31:22-31
22 Ella si fa de’ capoletti; Fin lino, e porpora sono il suo vestire.
23 Il suo marito è conosciuto nelle porte, Quando egli siede con gli anziani del paese.
24 Ella fa de’ veli, e li vende; E delle cinture, le quali ella dà a’ mercatanti.
25 Ella è vestita di gloria e d’onore; E ride del giorno a venire.
26 Ella apre la bocca con sapienza, E la legge della benignità è sopra la sua lingua.
27 Ella considera gli andamenti della sua casa, E non mangia il pan di pigrizia.
28 I suoi figliuoli si levano, e la predicano beata, Il suo marito anch’egli, e la loda;
29 Dicendo: Molte donne si son portate valorosamente; Ma tu le sopravanzi tutte.
30 La grazia è cosa fallace, e la bellezza è cosa vana; Ma la donna che ha il timor del Signore sarà quella che sarà lodata.
31 Datele del frutto delle sue mani; E lodinla le sue opere nelle porte.

Proverbi 31:22-31 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PROVERBS 31

This chapter contains the last part of the book of Proverbs; which some reckon the fifth, others the sixth. It contains the instructions of the mother of a prince, whose name was Lemuel, which she gave unto him; and which are so valuable, as to be annexed to the proverbs of Solomon. The preface or introduction to them is in Pr 31:1; the address to her son, Pr 31:2. The vices she cautions him against are uncleanness and intemperance; which she dissuades from, because of the pernicious consequences of both to kings and to their subjects, Pr 31:3-5. Advises rather to give wine and strong drink to poor people, such as are in distress; as being more useful to them, at least less prejudicial, Pr 31:6,7; and exhorts her son to the duties of his office; by pleading the cause of the poor and injured, and administering justice to them, Pr 31:8,9. And then at large describes a virtuous woman; perhaps designed as an instruction to her son in the choice of a wife, Pr 31:10-31; though more than that may be intended by it.
