Solomon’s proverbs: A wise son brings joy to his father, but a foolish son, heartache to his mother.

My son, if your heart is wise, my heart will indeed rejoice.My innermost being will cheer when your lips say what is right.

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

I hated all my work that I labored at under the sun because I must leave it to the man who comes after me.And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will take over all my work that I labored at skillfully under the sun. This too is futile.So I began to give myself over to despair concerning all my work that I had labored at under the sun.When there is a man whose work was done with wisdom, knowledge, and skill, and he must give his portion to a man who has not worked for it, this too is futile and a great wrong.

I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it— not to mention to you that you owe me even your own self.Yes, brother, may I have joy from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

For I have great joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the sons born in one’s youth.Happy is the man who has filled his quiver with them. Such men will never be put to shame when they speak with their enemies at the city gate.

The father of a righteous son will rejoice greatly, and one who fathers a wise son will delight in him.Let your father and mother have joy, and let her who gave birth to you rejoice.

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