Detailed explanation-1: -A woman that yearns to please God strives to be like this ideal example, but with the understanding that every Christian is a work in progress, brought “to completion in the day of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:6). Candice Lucey Contributing Writer. 2021 26 Jan.

Detailed explanation-2: -Why the female personification? Perhaps in part because, in Hebrew, wisdom is a grammatically feminine noun. Grammar does not fully explain, however, Proverbs’s interest in repeated and varied development of the female persona, which contrasts with the only incipient personification in Job.

Detailed explanation-3: -The good wife (31:10–31) This “Woman of Valor” has been described as the personification of wisdom, or in some sense as a description of a particular class of women in Israel, Persia, or in Hellenistic society.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proverbs 12:4 – “An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who shames him is as rottenness in his bones.” Marriage is a life-long covenant between a man and a woman to live as one flesh, for their mutual benefit, and for the bearing of children.
