Proverbs 27:11

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

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

So I shall have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in thy word.

As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the sons of youth.

A wise son makes a glad father, but a foolish man despises his mother.

He who loves wisdom delights his father, but he who keeps company with harlots wastes [his] substance.

And I hated all my labor in which I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who shall be after me.

I rejoice exceedingly that I have found of thy children walking in truth, just as we received commandment from the Father.
