Contradiction with Proverbs 12:4
While Proverbs 14:1 speaks of a woman building her house with wisdom, Proverbs 12:4 highlights the woman's influence on her husband, suggesting an impact more on the marriage than the household itself.
Proverbs 12:4: A virtuous woman [is] a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed [is] as rottenness in his bones.
Contradiction with Proverbs 21:9
Proverbs 14:1 emphasizes a woman's constructive role in her house, whereas Proverbs 21:9 suggests the presence of a contentious woman leads to discord within, detracting from harmony.
Proverbs 21:9: [It is] better to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. [a brawling...: Heb. a woman of contentions] [a wide...: Heb. an house of society]
Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 7:26
Proverbs 14:1 describes a wise woman building her house, but Ecclesiastes 7:26 warns about women whose character can entrap and harm rather than build up.
Ecclesiastes 7:26: And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart [is] snares and nets, [and] her hands [as] bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her. [whoso...: Heb. he that is good before God]
Contradiction with 1 Kings 11:4
While Proverbs 14:1 acknowledges a woman's role in building her home, 1 Kings 11:4 shows that women can also lead to turning hearts away, as seen in Solomon's case.
1 Kings 11:4: For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, [that] his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as [was] the heart of David his father.
