• In these words the key-note is struck, to be again and again referred to throughout the book, and returned to in the final chapter. The son who is characterized by wisdom, causes his father to rejoice as in the case of Solomon himself (1 Chron. 22:12; 2 Chron. 1:7-12). On the other hand it is the mother who feels most keenly the folly of her child. See Esau in Gen. 26:34. 35 and 27:46. (“Proverbs Ten” by H.A. Ironside)
