Proverbs 23:25

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, And she that bare thee shall rejoice.

See the chapter Copy

A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her that bare him.

And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her.

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, That I may answer him that reproacheth me.

My son, give me thine heart, And let thine eyes observe my ways.

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: But a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.

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