Notes

Without God's help, finding a virtuous and capable wife is impossible (Proverbs 18:22). Such a woman, like wisdom, is more precious than rubies (compare Proverbs 3:15).

Proverbs concludes with a strong poem honoring the virtuous wife. The acrostic format makes it feel complete and helps students learn.
