Proverbs 31:17,18 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

She girdeth her loins with strength She uses great diligence and expedition in her employment; for which end, men in those times used to gird up their long and loose garments about their loins. And strengtheneth her arms Puts forth her utmost strength in her business. She perceiveth that her merchandise is good She finds great comfort and good success in her labours. Her candle goeth not out by night Which is not to be taken strictly, but only signifies her unwearied care and industry.
