The scholarly work is meant to provide a platform for debates on Proverbs 31:10-31 as to whether this oracle describes: i) the tangible, feasible characteristics that wives should embody; ii) the epitome, the pristine principle of what wives should symbolize; iii) the personification of wisdom to which wives should attain. This present study critically examines the ideal woman/wife in the concerned Proverb along with selected OT women to yield results that will contribute to a better understanding of what it meant to be a biblically ideal wife.
