Proverbs 27:11

God's Word

Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad so that I can answer anyone who criticizes me.

See the chapter Copy

Then I will have an answer for the one who insults me since I trust your word.

Now, you kings, act wisely. Be warned, you rulers of the earth!

The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes his father happy, but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

A wise son makes his father happy, but a foolish child despises its mother.

A lazy person thinks he is wiser than seven people who give a sensible answer.

Sensible people foresee trouble and hide. Gullible people go ahead ⌞and⌟ suffer.

A person who loves wisdom makes his father happy, but one who pays prostitutes wastes his wealth.

Your love ⌞for God’s people⌟ gives me a lot of joy and encouragement. You, brother, have comforted God’s people.

I was very happy to find some of your children living in the truth as the Father has commanded us.
