AMPLIFIED 2015 | Proverbs 31:10 ¶ An excellent woman [one who is spiritual, capable, intelligent, and virtuous], who is he who can find her? Her value is more precious than jewels and her worth is far above rubies or pearls. [Prov 12:4; 18:22; 19:14] |
Bible Question: Out of all the women of the Old Testament, who best fulfills the character traits of the excellent or 'virtuous' wife that is personified by Proverbs 31:10? |
Bible Answer: My vote would go for Leah, Jacob's wife and Hannah Elkanah's wife. Both women were sorely tried by their adversaries and their responses were to turn to the Lord rather than turn on their adversary or their husbands. Look them up! |
