She opens her mouth with wisdom; and on her tongue is the law of kindness.
All Commentaries on Proverbs 31:26 Go To Proverbs 31
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
“She has opened her mouth with care, and imposed order on her tongue,” praising creatures as creatures, the creator as creator, angels as angels, heavenly things as heavenly, earthly things as earthly, men as men, animals as animals. Nothing mixed up, nothing out of order. Not taking the name of the Lord her God in vain, not attributing the nature of a creature to the creator, speaking about everything so methodically that she doesn’t put lesser things above the more important or subordinate the more important to the lesser.
