Proverbs 10:1

The Proverbs of Solomon

1 ^aThe proverbs of Solomon.

^bA wise son makes a glad father,
^cbut a foolish son is a sorrow to his mother.

Proverbs 15:20

20 ^dA wise son makes a glad father,
but a foolish man despises his mother.

Proverbs 23:15-16

15 ^eMy son, if your heart is wise,
my heart too will be glad.
16 My ^finmost being ^{▼▼Hebrew My kidneys} will exult
when your lips speak ^hwhat is right.

Proverbs 23:24-25

24 ⁱThe father of the righteous will greatly rejoice;
he who fathers a wise son will be glad in him.
25 ^jLet your father and mother be glad;
let ^kher who bore you rejoice.

Ecclesiastes 2:18-21

The Vanity of Toil

18 I hated ^lall my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must ^mleave it to the man who will come after me, 19 and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity. 20 So I ⁿturned about and gave my heart up to despair ^oover all the toil of my labors under the sun, 21 because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

Philemon 7

7 For I have derived much joy and ^pcomfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints ^qhave been refreshed through you.

Philemon 19-20

19 ^rI, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—to say nothing of your owing me even your own self. 20 Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. ^sRefresh my heart in Christ.

2 John 4

Walking in Truth and Love

4 ^tI rejoiced greatly to find some of your children walking in the truth, just as we were commanded by the Father.
