Proverbs 31:19 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

She layeth — By her own example she provokes her servants to labour. And although in these latter and more delicate times, such mean employments are grown out of fashion among great persons, yet they were not so in former ages, neither in other countries, nor in this land; whence all women unmarried unto this day are called in the language of our law, Spinsters.

Proverbs 31:19

19 She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
