This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_23:15 My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
Ver. 15. My son, if thine heart be wise.] Si vexatio det intellectum, if either by instruction or correction I may make thee wise or well spoken, Bonum virum, dicendi peritum - as Quintilian’s orator - totus laetitia dissiliam, I shall be a joyful man indeed. St John had no greater joy than to hear that his children walked in the truth. {3Jn_1:4} And St Paul could never be thankful enough for such a mercy. {1Th_3:9}
Even mine.] Or, Even as I - viz., was a comfort to my parents.
