Strength and dignity are her clothing; And she laugheth at the time to come.
Strength and honour [are] her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come. (m) After he had spoken of the apparel of the body, he now declares the apparel of the spirit.
This portrait of virtue is not idle poetry; it teaches both women what they must become and men what they must seek. Mark how much hangs on the mothers, the piety and prosperity of entire households, the faith of generations to come. A man who means to prosper must reckon with his wife; her wisdom and goodness are the foundation.

Commenting on Proverbs 31:10-31
She is clothed in power over circumstance itself, the kind of dignity and true pride that looks confidently into the future. This is not weakness masked as virtue; it is real strength, real elevation above the petty and common, the armor against sorrow and care.
