11 Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart; then I can answer anyone who treats me with contempt.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.
11 Be wise, my son, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him who reproaches me.
11 Become wise, dear child, and make me happy; then nothing the world throws my way will upset me.
11 My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, That I may answer him who reproaches me.
11 Be wise, my child, and make my heart glad. Then I will be able to answer my critics.
