Barnes's Proverbs 30:23 Bible Commentary
Odious woman - One in whom there is nothing loveable. Marriage, which to most women is the state in which they find scope for their highest qualities, becomes to her only a sphere in which to make herself and others miserable.
Wesley's Proverbs 30:23 Bible Commentary
30:23 An odious - Proud, and perverse. Married - For then she displays all those ill humours, which before, she concealed.Is heir - Which great and sudden change transports her beside herself, and makes her insufferably proud and scornful.
