Proverbs 27:11

Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.

The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes a glad father; but a foolish son brings grief to his mother.

So I will have an answer for him who reproaches me, for I trust in your word.

My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad, even mine:

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

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

The father of the righteous has great joy. Whoever fathers a wise child delights in him.

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

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

I rejoice greatly that I have found some of your children walking in truth, even as we have been commanded by the Father.
