   There are 2 woman described in the book of proverbs, the good woman and the evil woman..
   Proverbial Woman 31: THE GOOD WOMAN
   She fears the lord.
   12 She brings her husband good, not harm,
   ALL the days of her life.
   13 She selects wool and flax
   and WORKS with eager hands.
   14 She is like the merchant ships,
   bringing her FOOD FROM AFAR.
   17 She sets about her WORK VIGOROUSLY;
   her arms are strong for her tasks.
   20 She OPENS ARMS TO THE POOR
   and extends her HANDS TO THE NEEDY.
   23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
   where he takes his seat among the ELDERS of the land.
   [NOTE; THE BOOK OF TITUS SAYS AN ELDER IS A MAN OF ONLY ONE WIFE, BLAMELESS - NOT A DIVORCED MAN]
   24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
   and SUPPLIES THE MERCHANTS with sashes.
   25 She is clothed with STRENGTH and dignity;
   she can laugh at the days to come.
   26 She SPEAKS WITH WISDOM,
   and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
   28 Her children arise and call her blessed;
   HER HUSBAND, also, and he PRAISES her:
   30 a woman who FEARS the LORD is to be praised.
   Proverbial Woman 2: THE EVIL WOMAN
   The adulteress.. the divorced woman who trys to capture a man… Romans 7:3 if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an ADULTERESS.Mark 10:11He answered, “Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. 12And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.”Luke 16:18 and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
   1 Corinthians 7:11 10To the married I give this command (not I, but the Lord): A wife must not separate from her husband. But if she does, she must remain unmarried OR else be RECONCILED to her husband.
   Proverbs 22:14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit; he who is under the LORD’s wrath will fall into it.
   Proverbs 6:32 But a man who commits adultery lacks judgment; whoever does so destroys himself.
   Proverbs 2:16 It will save you also from the adulteress, from the wayward wife with her seductive words,17 who has left the partner of her youth and ignored the covenant she made before God.
   Proverbs 5:20 Why be captivated, my son, by an adulteress? Why embrace the bosom of another man’s wife?
   Proverbs 5:3 For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil;
   The proverbial 5-7 woman is the woman who divorces and remarries, the defined adulteress in Romans 7:3, Mark 10: it is interesting how the bible speaks very clear about the two types of woman. Proverbs 31… she is a good woman..

   Isn’t she the one who’s supposed to set an example to women?
   If so, then yes, I know what you’re talking about.
   I think that some of the work would be less, because the technology today is MUCH more advanced than that time. She’d have more free time and less work to do, so probably not as hard, but still, she would work and be faithful, but she wouldn’t have to work as hard.

   “…before everyone else and goes to bed late.”
   Yeah, she was just ahead of her time. Most people live that way these days. Well, except that most people are getting up at the same time that early.

   Yes because some people like being good little serfs.

   I think there are women like this. I’m not one of them. I tend to be lazy *red face*.

    I live by Proverbs 31. I can not imagine that i live up to it. But I “Do not eat from the bread of laziness.”
