PROVERBS 27:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.”
Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart; then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt—a father's declaration that filial wisdom brings paternal pride and dignity, establishing that parental status depends on children's virtue. The theological significance involves the principle of intergenerational blessing.
