Quotation_auto_tanakh for Proverbs 31:11

בָּ֣טַח בָּ֭הּ לֵ֣ב בַּעְלָ֑הּ וְ֝שָׁלָ֗ל לֹ֣א יֶחְסָֽר׃

The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, and he hath no lack of gain.

Siddur Sefard

The heart of her husband trusts in her, and he lacks no gain.4The literal meaning of שָׁלָל is “booty” which implies an unexpected gain to which one had no prior claim. Thus in our verse, although her husband had complete trust in her, her deeds actually surpassed his expectations.— S.R. Hirsch
