Contextual Overview
10 א Who can find a capable wife? Her value is far beyond that of pearls. 11 ב Her husband trusts her from his heart, and she will prove a great asset to him. 12 ג She works to bring him good, not harm, all the days of her life. 13 ד She procures a supply of wool and flax and works with willing hands. 14 ה She is like those merchant vessels, bringing her food from far away. 15 ו It's still dark when she rises to give food to her household and orders to the young women serving her. 16 ז She considers a field, then buys it, and from her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 ח She gathers her strength around her and throws herself into her work. 18 ט She sees that her business affairs go well; her lamp stays lit at night. 19 י She puts her hands to the staff with the flax; her fingers hold the spinning rod.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
She will do him good, and not evil,.... Or, repay good unto him, give him thanks for all the good things bestowed by him on her; will seek his interest, and promote his honour and glory to the uttermost; all the good works she does, which she is qualified for, and ready to perform, are all done in his name and strength, and with a view to his glory; nor will she do any evil willingly and knowingly against him, against his truths and ordinances; or that is detrimental to his honour, and prejudicial to his interest, 2 Corinthians 13:8;
all the days of her life; through which she desires to serve him in righteousness and true holiness; and to be steadfast and immovable, always abounding in his work, Luke 1:74.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 31:12. She will do him good —
4. She has her husband's happiness in view constantly. She recompenses all his kindness to her in beneficent acts. For kind words she returns kind deeds.
1) Her good is unmixed; she will do him good, and not evil.
2) Her good is not capricious; it is constant and permanent, while she and her husband live. His heart safely trusts in her, for she will do him good all the days of her life. This is her general character.
