Proverbs 27:11

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Study wisdom, my son, and make my heart joyful, that thou mayst give an answer to him that reproacheth.

See the chapter Copy

A wise son maketh the father glad: but a foolish son is the sorrow of his mother.

I was exceeding glad, that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father.

For I have had great joy and consolation in thy charity, because the bowels of the saints have been refreshed by thee, brother.

A man that loveth wisdom, rejoiceth his father: but he that maintaineth bar lots, shall squander away his substance.

A wise son maketh a father joyful: but the foolish man despiseth his mother.

And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.

The sluggard is wiser in his own conceit, than seven men that speak sentences.

The prudent man seeing evil hideth himself: little ones passing on have suffered losses.
