Proverbs 31:29,30 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Many daughters have done virtuously Daughters of men, that is, women, so called, Genesis 34:1; Ezekiel 30:18; but thou excellest them all Her husband esteems it but just, that his praises should bear proportion to her real and manifold excellences. Favour Comeliness, which commonly gives women favour with those who behold them. Deceitful It gives a false representation of the person, being often a cover to a deformed soul; it does not give a man that satisfaction which at first he promised to himself from it; and it is soon lost, not only by death, but by many diseases and contingences. But a woman that feareth the Lord Which character is here mentioned, either as the crown of all her perfections, or as a key to understand the foregoing description of her character, as being intended of that wisdom, fidelity, and diligence, which proceed from, or are accompanied with, the fear of God.
