Verse 1. A wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish destroieth it with her owne hands.
A Wise woman) Such a one as is both godly and discreet, buildeth her house, is helpful and profitable, to the state & family of her husband, and her own. But she that is foolish, being destitute of grace and good providence, how much wit soever she hath: for many times the most witty wives, are the least thrifty housewives, destroyeth it, undoeth her husband, her self, and children, and overthroweth the whole household.
