Contextual Overview

¹⁰ Who so fyndeth an honest faythfull woman, she is much more worth then pearles. ¹¹ The heart of her husbande may safely trust in her, so that he shall fall into no pouertie. ¹² She wyll do hym good, and not euill, all the dayes of her lyfe. ¹³ She occupieth wooll and flaxe, and laboureth gladly with her handes. ¹⁴ She is like a marchauntes ship, that bryngeth her vittayles from a farre. ¹⁵ She is vp in the nyght season, to prouide meate for her housholde, and foode for her maydens. ¹⁶ She considereth lande, and byeth it: and with the fruite of her handes she planteth a vineyarde. ¹⁷ She girdeth her loynes with strength, and fortifieth her armes. ¹⁸ And yf she perceaue that her huswiferie doth good, her candell goeth not out by nyght. ¹⁹ She layeth her fingers to the spindle, & her hande taketh holde of the distaffe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

She considereth a field, and buyeth it,.... The field are the Scriptures, in which are hid the rich treasures of Gospel doctrines and promises; and the church, and all truly enlightened persons, consider to what use this field may be put, to what account it will turn; how profitable the Scriptures are, for doctrine, reproof, correction, and instruction in righteousness; what a rich mine and valuable treasure is in them; things more desirable, and of greater worth, than thousands of gold and silver; and therefore will buy this field at any rate, and not sell it; will part with all they have before they will part with that; even life itself, which in an improper sense is called buying of it, though it is without money and without price; see Matthew 13:44;

with the fruit of her hand she planteth a vineyard; her own vineyard, whose plants are an orchard of pomegranates, Song of Solomon 1:6; who through the ministry of the word, are planted in the house of the Lord, and flourish there; this the church is said to do by her ministers, who plant and water, as Paul and Apollos did, 1 Corinthians 3:6. And it is observable, that in the Hebrew text there is a double reading; the "Keri", or marginal reading, is feminine; but the "Cetib", or writing, is masculine; to show that she did it by means of men, she made use of in her vineyard for that service; it being, as Aben Ezra observes, not the custom and business of women to plant vineyards, but men. It may be rendered, "he planted", and be applied to her husband, Christ; who, through the ministry of the word in his church, plants souls in it; and happy are they who are the planting of the Lord! trees of righteousness, that he may be glorified, Isaiah 61:3.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The verse points to a large sphere of feminine activity, strikingly in contrast with the degradation to which woman in the East has now fallen.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Proverbs 31:16. She considereth a field and buyeth it —

5. She provides for the growing wants of her family. More land will shortly be needed, for the family is growing up; and having seen a field contiguous to her own, which was on sale, she estimates its worth, and purchases it a good bargain; and she pays for it by the fruit of her own industry.

6. She does not restrict herself to the bare necessaries of life; she is able to procure some of its comforts. She plants a vineyard, that she may have wine for a beverage, for medicine, and for sacrifice. This also is procured of her own labour. Whatever goes out brings its worth in; and barter, not buying, is her chief mode of traffic.
