'Joy' in the Bible
The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son grieves his mother.
Just as the fool considers wickedness his joy, so is wisdom to the discerning man.
What the righteous hope for brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked dies.
The heart knows its own bitterness an outsider cannot share in its joy.
Even in laughter there may be heartache, and at the end of joy there may be grief.
An appropriate answer brings joy to a person, and a well-timed word is a good thing.
The man who fathers a fool does so to his sorrow the father of a fool has no joy.
Administering justice brings joy to the righteous, but terror to those who practice iniquity.
The man who loves wisdom brings joy to his father, but anyone who consorts with immoral women squanders his wealth.
