Proverbs 27:11

My son, be wise and gladden my heart, and I will turn back word to him reproaching me.

Proverbs of Solomon. A wise son will gladden a father: and a son of the foolish will grieve his mother.

And I will answer him reproaching me a word, for I trusted in thy word.

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

As arrows in the hand of the strong one, so are sons of youth.

A wise son will gladden the father: and the foolish man despised his mother.

The father of the just one rejoicing, shall rejoice: he shall beget a wise one and shall rejoice in him.

A man loving wisdom will gladden his father: and he feeding harlots shall destroy riches.

And I hated all my labor I laboring under the sun: leaving it to the man who shall come after me.

I was greatly rejoiced that I found of thy children walking about in the truth, as we received a command from the Father.
