Proverbs 23:25

Catholic Public Domain Version

Let your father and your mother be joyful, and may she who conceived you exult.

See the chapter Copy

A wise son gladdens the father. Yet truly, a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

A foolish son is the anger of the father and the grief of the mother who conceived him.

My son, if your soul will become wise, my heart will be glad with you.

My son, offer me your heart, and let your eyes keep to my ways.

My son, study wisdom, and rejoice my heart, so that you may be able to respond to the one who reproaches.

And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy with her, and so they congratulated her.
