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.

9 El ungüento y el perfume alegran el corazón: Y el amigo al hombre con el cordial consejo.
10 No dejes á tu amigo, ni al amigo de tu padre; Ni entres en casa de tu hermano el día de tu aflicción. Mejor es el vecino cerca que el hermano lejano.
11 Sé sabio, hijo mío, y alegra mi corazón, Y tendré qué responder al que me deshonrare.
12 El avisado ve el mal, y escóndese, Mas los simples pasan, y llevan el daño.
13 Quítale su ropa al que fió al extraño; Y al que fió á la extraña, tómale prenda.
