From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The words of praise which the husbandProverbs 31:28is supposed to have addressed to the ideal wife. Virtuously -The Hebrew word has primarily (like “virtus”) the idea of “strength,” but is used with various shades of meaning. Here (as inProverbs 12:4;Ruth 3:11) the strength is that of character stedfast in goodness. In other passages (e. g.,Genesis 34:29;Psalms 49:10) it has the sense of “riches,” and is so taken here by the Septuagint and Vulgate, see also the marginal rendering.
