I hated this women for years. In fact, my sermon starts out: "Aah the Proverbs 31 woman, let me count the ways I hate thee." But so much does jump out as you read it and see what is actually there instead of what the patriarchs want to be there. I understand your dislike for this passage. I hated this women for years.

She likes what she's doing. She laughs, she is wise and speaks kindly and her husband trusts her. The fact that she deals openly with merchants and makes her own land purchases means she commands respect from men other than her husband, doesn't it? She is not the least concerned about status - but is that because she already has it by marriage or birth? - and she is a very good manager. If we can understand that she is an example to men and women alike in today's world, then this reading becomes meaningful for me again. My dislike for it has known no bounds up until now. ;-) Shawna,
