Proverbs 31
It's not just about the virtuous wife... the other part of Proverbs 31 advises that women, beer and alcohol are not appropriate for kings. Okay, that may overstate King Lemuel's mother's advice about women, but beer and alcohol are out, because they may forget the law and deny justice to the oppressed. The oppressed on the other hand are welcome to the beer and wine that they may forget their troubles. I wonder what said said about the oppressed and women... that was probably what led her to the discussion of a virtuous wife.
