Commentary on Proverbs 14:1

Theological / Devotional

Woman. No house can be strong unless it be controlled by a wise and diligent woman. When the woman of the house is foolish, not only will she neglect to order the house aright, but her foolish behavior will raise up enemies without and stir up strife within (see chs. 24:3; 31:10-31).
