"Every wise woman buildeth her house: but the foolish plucketh it down with her hands."
And if there is still a question of how a woman builds her house, the rest of the chapter explains in detail by contrasting goodness and evil.
How we walk...where we go.
What we say...do we speak truth?
Who we spend time with...you can perceive what a person is like by the words that are spoken.
What your heart is filled with...joy or heaviness? Laughter isn't the indicator.
How we think...do we believe everything we hear?
Who do we listen to...simple people or prudent people?
Do we reach out to others...in all walks of life?
Do we offer mercy, truth, and wisdom to those around us? or just empty foolish words?
Is our home a place of safety?
Where is your confidence?
Are you envious or at rest in your heart?
Do you know how to hold your tongue...or must you always be heard?
Do you seek the King's favor...or are you governed by a nation's shameful mindset?
As I read through this chapter...a woman can take down her household with her hands (actions)...but it all starts in the heart (thoughts and attitudes)!
"The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways..."
"A sound heart is the life of the flesh..."
"Wisdom resteth in the heart of him that hath understanding..."
