Proverbs 27:11

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

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

See the chapter Copy

And I will answer him reproaching me a word, for I trusted in thy word.

And now be circumspect, ye and be silent Silence.

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

A wise son will gladden the father: and the foolish man despised his mother.

The slothful one is wise in his eyes more than seven turning back a reason.

The prudent one saw the evil, he hid himself; the simple passed and were punished.

A man loving wisdom will gladden his father: and he feeding harlots shall destroy riches.

For we have much grace and consolation upon thy love, for the bowels of the holy are refreshed by thee, brother.

I was greatly rejoiced that I found of thy children walking about in the truth, as we received a command from the Father.
