Proverbs 31:25

31:25 She is clothed¹ with strength² and honor,³

and she can laugh⁴ at the time⁵ to come.

¹sn The idea of clothing and being clothed is a favorite figure in Hebrew. It makes a comparison between wearing clothes and having strength and honor. Just as clothes immediately indicate something of the nature and circumstances of the person, so do these virtues.

²tn The first word of the sixteenth line begins with ע (ayin), the sixteenth letter of the Hebrew alphabet.

³sn This word appears in Ps 111:3 which says that the Lord’s work is honorable, and here the woman is clothed with strength and honor.

⁴sn Here “laugh” is either a metonymy of adjunct or effect. The point is that she is confident for the future because of all her industry and planning.

⁵tn Heb “day.” This word is a metonymy of subject meaning any events that take place on the day or in the time to come.
