Proverbs 23:25 meaning and explanation

May your father and mother be glad, and may she who gave you birth rejoice!

Proverbs 23:25, Berean Standard Bible

Explanation preview

Proverbs 23 records a father's instruction to his son, and verse 25 closes a unit that began in verse 22 with the charge to listen to the father and not despise the mother in her old age. Here the teaching becomes a wish: may the son's wisdom bring gladness to both parents, and may the mother who bore him rejoice.
