Proverbs 23:25

English Standard Version 2016

Let your father and mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him.

And her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had shown great mercy to her, and they rejoiced with her.

Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me.

My son, give me your heart, and let your eyes observe my ways.

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad.
