Final answer:

Proverbs 31:10-31 is attributed to King Lemuel, taught to him by his mother, describing the qualities of a virtuous woman.

Step-by-step explanation:

The passage referred to, from Proverbs 31:10-31, is commonly attributed to King Solomon, but the specific verses (10-31) are introduced as the words of King Lemuel, taught to him by his mother. The passage is known as the Proverbs 31 woman or the Virtuous Woman. It represents an acrostic poem celebrating the qualities of a virtuous wife or woman. The attribution to King Lemuel's mother is explicit within the text itself, suggesting the sayings were imparted to him by her as sagely advice on how a woman of strong character, wisdom, and capability might conduct herself and be recognized in society.
