Godly women, what do you think of Proverbs 31: 10-31?

I was wondering how you feel or take this word of God. I seek knowledge in this so all replies from women are welcome. Thank you and May Jesus bless you for helping me in this.

Proverbs 31:10-31

10 [a]A wife of noble character who can find?

She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her

and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,

all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax

and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,

bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still night;

she provides food for her family

and portions for her female servants.

16 She considers a field and buys it;

out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;

her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,

and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff

and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor

and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;

for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;

she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,

where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,

and supplies the merchants with sashes.

25 She is clothed with strength and dignity;

she can laugh at the days to come.

26 She speaks with wisdom,

and faithful instruction is on her tongue.

27 She watches over the affairs of her household

and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children arise and call her blessed;

her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “Many women do noble things,

but you surpass them all.”

30 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;

but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.

31 Honor her for all that her hands have done,

and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.

    We modern women may not "select wool and flax and work with eager hands" but we're pretty good software developers. Everything in Proverbs 31 works just as it always has, except that we're working with different technologies.

    I am a man and I married one. She does all that (modernized of course) and a lot more. Plus she cares for trauma victims in the ER. I am blessed that she loves me.

    Great! Especially the part about portioning for her female servants. (15)

    It sounds pretty much like the ideal woman ... if you lived in the stone age.

    Zeus says it's not His word, so I don't worry about it.
