NASB
"Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, That I may reply to him who reproaches me."
— Proverbs 27:11, NASB
“My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.”
“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 my tormentor.”
“Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, so that I may answer anyone who taunts me.”
Like a bird that wanders from her nest, So is a man who wanders from his home.
Oil and perfume make the heart glad, So a man's counsel is sweet to his friend.
Do not forsake your own friend or your father's friend, And do not go to your brother's house in the day of your calamity; Better is a neighbor who is near than a brother far away.
Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, That I may reply to him who reproaches me.
A prudent man sees evil and hides himself, The naive proceed and pay the penalty.
Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger; And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.
He who blesses his friend with a loud voice early in the morning, It will be reckoned a curse to him.
