Solomon’s proverbs:

A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish son, heartache to his mother.

The hope of the righteous is joy,
but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.

Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil,
but those who promote peace have joy.

The heart knows its own bitterness,
and no outsider shares in its joy.

Even in laughter a heart may be sad,
and joy may end in grief.

Let your father and mother have joy,
and let her who gave birth to you rejoice.

Oil and incense bring joy to the heart,
and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel.

Be wise, my son, and bring my heart joy,
so that I can answer anyone who taunts me.

A wise son brings joy to his father,
but a foolish man despises his mother.

Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,
but a man with understanding walks a straight path.

A man takes joy in giving an answer;
and a timely word—how good that is!

A man fathers a fool to his own sorrow;
the father of a fool has no joy.

Justice executed is a joy to the righteous
but a terror to those who practice iniquity.

A man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father,
but one who consorts with prostitutes destroys his wealth.
