Proverbios 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.

Proverbios 27:11 In-Context

9 El perfume y el incienso alegran el corazón,
y el dulce consejo de un amigo es mejor que la confianza propia.
10 Nunca abandones a un amigo,
sea tuyo o de tu padre.
Cuando ocurra la calamidad, no tendrás que pedirle ayuda a tu hermano.
Mejor es recurrir a un vecino que a un hermano que vive lejos.
11 Sé sabio, hijo mío, y alegra mi corazón.
Entonces podré responder a los que me critican.
12 El prudente se anticipa al peligro y toma precauciones.
El simplón sigue adelante a ciegas y sufre las consecuencias.
13 Al que salga fiador por la deuda de un desconocido, pídele una garantía.
Exígele un depósito como garantía si lo hace por extranjeros.
