Contextual Overview
10 Who can find a woman of virtue? For her value is far above jewels. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, so that he has no lack of gain. 12 She deals good with him, and not evil, all the days of her life. 13 She seeks wool and flax, and she works with her hands with delight. 14 She is like the merchant ships, she brings in her food from afar. 15 She also rises while it is still night and gives game to her household, and a portion to her maidens. 16 She has examined a field and takes it; she plants a vineyard from the fruit of her hands. 17 She has girded her loins with strength, and has made her arms strong. 18 She tastes whether her gain is good, her lamp is not put out by night. 19 She has sent forth her hands on the distaff, and her hands have held the spindle.

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.
