About Proverbs 31

The words of King Lemuel's mother close the book: a warning against wasting strength on drink and a charge to defend the rights of the poor. Then comes the famous acrostic portrait of the virtuous wife — industrious, generous, strong, and wise — whose worth is far above rubies and whose fear of the LORD outlasts charm and beauty.
