Geneva Bible Notes Reformed @genevanotes

Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands. (a) That is, takes pains to profit her family, and to do that which concerns her duty in her house.

Keil & Delitzsch Lutheran @keilanddelitzsch

Pro 14:1 1 The wisdom of the woman buildeth her house, And folly teareth it down with its own hands. Were it חכמות נשׁים, after Jdg 5:29, cf. Isa 19:11, then the meaning would be: the wise among women, each of them buildeth her house. But why then not just אשּׁה חכמה, as 2Sa 14:2, cf. Exo 35:25? The Syr., Targum, and Jerome write sapiens mulier.
