These are the proverbs of Solomon. A wise son makes his father glad. But a foolish son brings sorrow to his mother.

Then I can answer anyone who makes fun of me, because I trust in your word.

My son, if your heart is wise, my heart will be very glad.Deep down inside, I will be happy when you say what is right.

A wise son makes his father glad. But a foolish son hates his mother.

I hated everything I had worked for on earth. I’ll have to leave all of it to someone who lives after me.And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Either way, they’ll take over everything on earth I’ve worked so hard for. That doesn’t have any meaning either.So I began to lose hope because of all my hard work on this earth.A person might use wisdom, knowledge and skill to do their work. But then they have to leave everything they own to someone who hasn’t worked for it. That doesn’t have any meaning either. In fact, it isn’t fair.

I’ll pay it back. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I won’t even mention that you owe me your life.My brother, we both belong to the Lord. So I wish I could receive some benefit from you. Renew my heart. We know that Christ is the one who really renews it.

Your love has given me great joy. It has encouraged me. My brother, you have renewed the hearts of the Lord’s people.

Children who are born to people when they are young are like arrows in the hands of a soldier.Blessed are those who have many children. They won’t be put to shame when they go up against their enemies in court.

The father of a godly child is very happy. A man who has a wise son is glad.May your father and mother be glad. May the woman who gave birth to you be joyful.

A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad. But a man who spends time with prostitutes wastes his father’s wealth.
