“Excellent Wife”
Blessings folk!
As the Proverbist describes good/evil, righteous/wicked he will “throw in” a pointed example from time to time.
He does so now…

Pro 12:4
An excellent wife is the crown of her husband,
But she who shames him is like rottenness in his bones.
Well that is direct.
An excellent=virtuous wife is the crown of her husband.
“Excellent” carries the idea of “strength”, “influence”, “wealth”, “ability”, “might”.
When referring to women, it speaks of virtuous character.
But, what of a woman who is not excellent?
She brings shame to her husband.
She is as rottenness in his bones…well that is descriptive.
“Shame” is used in the sense that we use it…as well as to be disappointing, disconcerting.
Think of the outcome of rotten bones.
All will collapse.
Such is a “shameful/wicked/unrighteous” woman.
Be excellent.
We will see more later…especially Proverbs 31.
