Study note
Setting — The sage addresses the reader while concluding his portrait of the capable wife, immediately after noting her vigilance over household affairs and her rejection of idleness.
The words — קָמוּ (Ka.mu) = they rise up and וַֽ/יְאַשְּׁר֑וּ/הָ (va/y.'a.she.Ru./ha) = they called blessed her record the children’s physical posture of honor and their verbal declaration of her worth.
The thread — The linkage of faithful instruction, household stewardship, and familial honor runs through 2 Timothy 1:5, 2 Timothy 3:15, and 1 Kings 2:19.
Why it lands — The verse states that diligent, non-idle work produces direct honor from family, requiring readers to value practical stewardship and concrete results over mere reputation.
