Proverbs 23:25

Modern English Version

Let your father and your mother be glad; let her who bore you rejoice.

See the chapter Copy

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish son is the grief of his mother.

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

My son, if your heart is wise, my heart will indeed rejoice.

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

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer my accusers.

Her neighbors and cousins heard how the Lord had shown her great mercy, and they rejoiced with her.
