PROVERBS 23:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The father of the righteous shall greatly rejoice: and he that begetteth a wise child shall have joy of him.”
The father of a righteous child has great joy; a man who fathers a wise son rejoices in him—an affirmation that parental satisfaction comes through filial righteousness, establishing the intergenerational transmission of blessing. The parallelism 'joy in righteous child, rejoice in wise son' is emphatic. The theological significance involves the principle that character is the true family inheritance.
