Proverbs 31

The chapter opens with the sayings of King Lemuel taught by his mother, warning against expending strength on women or excessive wine that impairs justice for the oppressed[1][3][5]. It then describes the **eshet chayil** (virtuous woman) as industrious, wise, generous to the poor, and praiseworthy for fearing YHWH rather than charm or beauty[1][2][4].
