Contextual Overview
10 An excellent wife, who can find her? For her worth is far above jewels. 11 The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain. 12 She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.13 She looks for wool and linen, And works with her hands in delight. 14 She is like merchant ships; She brings her food from afar. 15 And she rises while it is still night And gives food to her household, And portions to her attendants. 16 She considers a field and buys it; From her earnings she plants a vineyard. 17 She surrounds her waist with strength And makes her arms strong. 18 She senses that her profit is good; Her lamp does not go out at night. 19 She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp 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.
