“Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.”
King James Version (KJV)
31:8 The dumb - For such as cannot speak in their own cause, either through ignorance, or because of the dread of their more potent adversaries. Destruction - Who, without such succour from the judges, are like to be utterly ruined.
31:10 A virtuous woman - Here he lays down several qualifications of an excellent wife, which are delivered in alphabetical order, each verse beginning with a several letter of the Hebrew alphabet.
31:11 No need - He shall have no need to use indirect courses to get wealth.
