Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.
As part of the passage continuing through verse 31, the verse introduces the capable woman as a model of practical wisdom and useful service. It declares that a virtuous woman is of great worth, valued more highly than rubies. Its portrait therefore shows the importance of learning household duties and becoming competent to manage a home and care for a family. Such ability is of great worth. Applied personally, the verse's measure of worth describes Mary as precious and valued above rubies, commended as a faithful daughter for whom tender care is to be provided.
