My son, if your heart is wise, then my heart will be glad indeed; my inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.
Proverbs 23:15-16

Again, v. 16 also gives a universal sentiment that a parent’s rejoicing when their child speak “what is right.” Now, the next step: Everything said about a parent in these two verses is doubly true if we speak of our heavenly Father. (See also Psalm 37:l; Proverbs 3:31; 24:1,19.)
