Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 11 of 27

"My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me."
Proverbs 27:11

In context

9Ointment and perfume rejoice the heart: so the sweetness of a man's friend by hearty counsel.

10Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: better a neighbour near than a brother far off.

11My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.

12A prudent foreseeth the evil, hideth himself; the simple pass on, are punished.

13Take his garment that is surety for a stranger, and take a pledge of him for a strange woman.
