The Bible describes a virtuous woman as one who seeks after righteousness in Christ, symbolized through wool and flax, representing her need for covering and mercy.
In Proverbs 31, a virtuous woman is characterized as continually seeking wool and flax, which symbolize her longing for righteousness and covering from God. This passage illustrates that she recognizes her need for a garment that represents Christ's righteousness, and this desire is a reflection of her new heart in Christ. The virtuous woman represents the bride of Christ, who acknowledges her sinful nature and seeks to be clothed in the garments of salvation provided by the Lord, emphasizing the importance of relying on Christ's atoning work.
