Proverbs 18:22, “He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord.”  This chapter, thirty-one, provides a description of the different qualities that constitute excellence, the ways in which she “builds her house,” how she is the “crown of her husband,” and how her character and labor are “favor from the Lord.”. The spiritual maturity described should be the common goal of all while the investment of energy in specific tasks could be unique. Summarizing the implications of the earlier warnings as well as the blessings of the present description of true wisdom, the sections begins, “An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.”
