What does Proverb 31 27 mean?

Answer 1

Starting at Proverbs 31:10, "Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.", it seems the next verses describe the author's idea of a virtuous woman - how he expects a woman to behave.

31:27 "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness." - I understand this as that she looks after her household (takes care of things around the house), and that she doesn't stay idle (lazy).
