Proverbs 23:25

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

Let thy father and thy mother be glad, And let her that bare thee rejoice.

See the chapter Copy

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

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

My son, if thine heart be wise, My heart shall be glad, even mine:

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

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

And her neighbours and her kinsfolk heard that the Lord had magnified his mercy towards her; and they rejoiced with her.
