Pro 10:1 | MHM | STEP | Weighty Sayings. This verse introduces a new section of Proverbs, where Solomon gives many short and wise sayings. Here, he reminds us how much a child’s behavior affects their parents. Good children bring joy and comfort to their parents, while foolish or wicked children bring them sadness. This is a reason for parents to teach their children well, and for children to live wisely and honor their upbringing. When children do well, it rewards the hard work and love of their parents, especially as parents grow older. But when children do wrong, it brings pain, especially to mothers who have cared for them with so much hope and effort. v. 1 : “A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother” . If a child is wise and lives well, it makes their father happy. But if a child is foolish and does wrong, it brings sorrow to their mother. This shows how important it is for children to choose wisdom and goodness, not just for themselves, but also for the happiness of their families.
