She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
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.

When she opens her mouth, for it is not always open, she expresses herself in a discreet and prudent manner; as well as speaks of things not foolish and trifling, but of moment and importance, and of usefulness to others: or "concerning wisdom" (a); the church and people of Christ talk of the wisdom of God in the works...
She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and on her tongue [is] the law of kindness. (n) Her tongue is a book by which one might learn many good things: for she delights to talk of the word of God.
