The proverbs of Solomon: A wise child brings joy to a father; a foolish child brings grief to a mother.

Yet when this son of yours comes back after squandering your money on prostitutes, you celebrate by killing the fattened calf!’

Sensible children bring joy to their father; foolish children despise their mother.

For a prostitute will bring you to poverty, but sleeping with another man’s wife will cost you your life.

Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad. Then I will be able to answer my critics.

Stay away from her! Don’t go near the door of her house!If you do, you will lose your honor and will lose to merciless people all you have achieved.Strangers will consume your wealth, and someone else will enjoy the fruit of your labor.

A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.

Those who love pleasure become poor; those who love wine and luxury will never be rich.

But the angel said,“ Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife, Elizabeth, will give you a son, and you are to name him John.You will have great joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth,for he will be great in the eyes of the Lord. He must never touch wine or other alcoholic drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even before his birth.And he will turn many Israelites to the Lord their God.He will be a man with the spirit and power of Elijah. He will prepare the people for the coming of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and he will cause those who are rebellious to accept the wisdom of the godly.”

The father of godly children has cause for joy. What a pleasure to have children who are wise.So give your father and mother joy! May she who gave you birth be happy.

My child, if your heart is wise, my own heart will rejoice!
