Proverbs 31:10 et seq

The Virtuous Woman (or valorous, excellent, of noble character)
Proverbs 31:10-30 totally wrecks the unbiblical notions of what women should be like, and what a man
should find acceptable. An awful lot of what is taught as "biblical" is just baptized sin. Pride, ambition,
vainglory, dishonesty, cowardice, self indulgence are all denounced everywhere else, but get a free pass
if they are linked to women or men as part of their supposed created nature.

The Masoretic based KJV and others, and the Septuagint (LXX) from older texts than the Masoretic differ
slightly, but add up to the same thing.

"11The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.
12She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life."  no need of or temptation to dubioius
or wrong means of making money, involvement in pluder, or evenjust the results of the warfare
of business and the marketplace.

The Septuagint "Theheart ofher husband trusts  in her she will not be at a loss forfine
spoils, FOR SHE PROVIDES GOOD THINGS FOR HER HUSBAND ALL HER LIFE."

Hereit is clear as implied in the Masoretic, that she is one who brings home the bread a lot,
theone who comes home with the spoils of the competition of the marketplace. (The Talmud
saysthe text the Masoretics based on was flawed when they got it, they just froze it from more
errors. The Qumran Scrolls often agree with the LXX against the Masoretic,s omketimes a third
variantisshown to have exited, but they all add up to the same thing.

"13She seeketh wool, and flax, and worketh willingly with her hands.
14She is like the merchants' ships; she bringeth her food from afar.
...
16She considereth a field, and buyeth it: with the fruit of her hands she planteth a vineyard.
[aggressive independent farming savvy businesswoman.]

17She girdeth her loins with strength, and strengtheneth her arms.
[very masculine terminology here. Likely does a lot of her own field work, nothing
unusual in itself for women in some parts of Asia and Africa.]

18She perceiveth that her merchandise is good: her candle goeth not out by night.
[keeps track of finances and profit and loss not an airhead.]

19She layeth her hands to the spindle, and her hands hold the distaff.
...
24She maketh fine linen, and selleth it; and delivereth girdles unto the merchant.

25Strength and honour are her clothing; and she shall rejoice in time to come.

26She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness.
[LXX says she is kind to her kids so they become rich, i.e., not torn down or smothered
but built up to get out and things done, incl. the females are raised this way since
it doesn't specify sons.]"

Notice that her husband is proud of her and he is also well known sits with the elders
in the cfity  gates, soshe is well known also.

Somuch for man the provider woman the housekeeper dependent and manipulator.
And theidea that remarriage was allowed because a woman couldn't survive without
marrying for money is also false.
