Proverbs31:11
11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her , so that he shall have no need of spoil .
For the prudent and faithful management of all his domestick affairs, which are committed to her care.
The sense is either 1. He shall want no necessary Provisions for his family, which are somtimes called spoil, or prey, as below, v. 15. Psal. 111. 5. Luk. 11. 22. Or, 2. He shall not need to use indirect and unlawful courses to get Wealth, by cheating or oppressing his Subjects or others, as Princes have oft done to maintain the Luxury of their Wives, and as Solomon himself afterwards did, of which see on 1 King. 12. 4, 10, 11. because all shall be abundantly supplied to him by her Providence.
