Provérbios 27:11 Meaning and Commentary

Proverbs 27:11

My son, be wise, and make my heart glad
That is, show thyself to be a wise man by thy words and actions; endeavour to get a good share of wisdom and knowledge, and make a good use of it, and that will rejoice my heart; as nothing more gladdens the heart of a parent than the wisdom and prudent behaviour of his son; see ( Proverbs 10:1 ) ( Proverbs 23:15 Proverbs 23:24 Proverbs 23:25 ) ;

that I may answer him that reproacheth me;
with begetting a foolish son, or a wicked man; or making him such by ill examples; or through neglect of education; or by using too much severity in it.

Provérbios 27:11 In-Context

9 O óleo e o perfume alegram o coração; assim é o doce conselho do homem para o seu amigo.
10 Não abandones o teu amigo, nem o amigo de teu pai; nem entres na casa de teu irmão no dia de tua adversidade. Mais vale um vizinho que está perto do que um irmão que está longe.
11 Sê sábio, filho meu, e alegra o meu coração, para que eu tenha o que responder �quele que me vituperar.
12 O prudente vê o mal e se esconde; mas os insensatos passam adiante e sofrem a pena.
13 Tira a roupa �quele que fica por fiador do estranho, e toma penhor daquele que se obriga por uma estrangeira.
