Proverbs 23:25

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

Let your father and your mother be glad! Let her who bore you rejoice!

See the chapter Copy

The proverbs of Shlomo. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

A foolish son brings grief to his father, and bitterness to her who bore him.

My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad, even mine:

My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.

Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her, and they rejoiced with her.
