The capable wife also thinks before she speaks, and her words are not spoken in a domineering tone. She may remind one of Abigail, who “was good in discretion and beautiful in form.” (1 Sam. 25:3) Yes, the capable wife speaks with kindness, whether she is talking to the children, the servants or others.

“Her mouth she has opened in wisdom, and the law of loving-kindness is upon her tongue,” says King Lemuel.
