Thy father shall rejoice, and thy mother, and she begetting thee shall exult.

See the chapter Copy

Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son will gladden a father: and a son of the foolish will grieve his mother.

A foolish son a grief to his father, and bitterness to her bringing him forth.

My son, if thy heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.

My son, thou shalt give thy heart to me, and thine eyes shall delight in my way.

My son, be wise and gladden my heart, and I will turn back word to him reproaching me.

And they dwelling near and her kinsmen heard, for the Lord magnified his mercy with her; and they rejoiced with her.
