What of a Wise Woman

A Wise Woman builds her home, but a foolish woman tears it down with her own hands.
Proverbs 14:1


Every wise woman buildeth her house,.... Not only by her fruitfulness, as Leah and Rachel built up the house of Israel; but by her good housewifery, prudent economy; looking well to the ways of her household; guiding the affairs of her house with discretion; keeping all things in a good decorum; and bringing up her children in virtue, and in the fear and admonition of the Lord.
. Wise women order well their household matters and their families; they have an important influence, and exercise it beneficially.


BUT
A woman who has no fear of God, who is willful and wasteful, and indulges her ease, will as certainly ruin her family, as if she plucked her house down.
