Proverbs 23:25

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

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

See the chapter Copy

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

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

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

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

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

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