The heart of her husband does safely trust in her, so that he has no need of spoil.(no worry that she will cause loss). She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

She makes fine linen and sells it.(an.industrious and enterprising woman).and delivers girdles unto the merchant. Strength and honour are her clothing and she rejoices in times to come.(she's positive and hopeful towards the future; not a sad negative downer).

Proverbs 31:30 Favour is deceitful.(closer to the original, 'charm can be used for deceitful purposes, such as, getting a man just for what money she could get, as the ancient low consciousness bitch Delilah did to Samson:.Judges 16:4-21).and beauty is vain.(so, don't go with a woman just because she is beautiful and ladies, be as beautiful as you can be; important thing overall on Earth and eternally is the spiritual, but have fun with the physical along the way; make talking with God {meditation with prayer} important and all else falls into place, maybe not right away, but eventually; it gives substance to life), but a woman that fears.(what's this mean?).the Lord, she is worthy of praise.(original for word 'praise' is 'shine', that is, when her youthful charming ways and beauty wane, she will continue to shine and that's the important thing; look into the distance of your life and consider where a relationship may take you over the years; use the rate a mate).

There are good woman and there are evil bitches.

Proverbs chapter 31 contains King Lemuel's words from advice of his mother (verse 1) to keep him on the right track of life. Verse 30 is showing an important thing his mother taught him to focus on and that is a girl who 'sees' and respects the presence of the God in herself, that is, higher consciousness thinking is important to her.

Proverbs 31:31 Give her of the fruit of her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates.
