Proverbs 27:11

Tree of Life Version

Be wise, my son, make my heart glad, so I may answer anyone who taunts me.

See the chapter Copy

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son gives joy to his father, but a foolish son grief to his mother.

so I may answer the one taunting me, for I trust in Your word.

I was overjoyed to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we received as a commandment from the Father.

For I’ve received much joy and comfort in your love, brother, because the hearts of the kedoshim have been refreshed through you.

Whoever loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but a companion of prostitutes squanders his wealth.

A wise child brings joy to his father, but a foolish person despises his mother.

So now, O kings, be wise, take warning, O judges of the earth!

A slacker is wiser in his own eyes than seven people who answer sensibly.

The prudent see danger and hide, but the naïve keep going and pay the penalty.
