Proverbs 31 is the 31st and final chapter of the Book of Proverbs in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. [1] Verses 1 to 9 present the advice which King Lemuel's mother gave to him, about how a just king should reign. The remaining verses detail the attributes of a good wife or an ideal woman (verses 10–31).
Solomon's mother was Bathsheba, which may mean she is the author of the "inspired utterance" of this section of Proverbs.

The employment of unusual forms of language cannot be considered as a sign of ancient Hebrew poetry. In Genesis 9:25–27 and elsewhere the form lamo occurs. But this form, which represents partly lahem and partly lo, has many counterparts in Hebrew grammar, as, for example, kemo instead of ke-; [2] or -emo = "them"; [3] or -emo = "their"; [4] or elemo = "to them" [5] —forms found in ...
This statement is traditionally called "The Word of Relationship" and in it Jesus entrusts Mary, his mother, into the care of "the disciple whom Jesus loved". [1] Jesus also addresses his mother as "woman" in John 2:4. [23] Although this sounds dismissive in English, the Greek word is a term of respect or tenderness.
