Proverbs 14:1

"Proverbs."

Key Reflection

The opening verse, "Every wise woman builds her house, but the foolish one tears it down with her own hands," sets a foundational theme of wisdom and its consequences. This wisdom is not merely practical but also spiritual, guiding individuals in making choices that either strengthen or weaken their moral and ethical foundations, ultimately reflecting their character before God.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Every wise woman -literally, Wise women. The fullest recognition that has as yet met us of the importance of woman, for good or evil, in all human society.
