Thy father and thy mother shall be glad, and she that bare thee shall rejoice.

Verse 25 is found in chapter 23 of Proverbs. The call to listen to one’s father and not despise an aging mother is connected with acquiring truth, wisdom, discipline, and understanding. The warning against prostitution and adultery then returns through the image of a deep pit and a robber. The teaching continues the themes of earlier chapters: sexual immorality does not merely promise momentary pleasure, but draws a person into a pattern of loss and deception.

Laß sich deinen Vater und deine Mutter freuen, und fröhlich sein, die dich geboren hat.
Alégrense tu padre y tu madre, Y gócese la que te engendró.
Que ton père et ta mère se réjouissent, Que celle qui t'a enfanté soit dans l'allégresse!
Fa’ che tuo padre e tua madre si rallegrino; E che quella che ti ha partorito gioisca.
Alegrem-se teu pai e tua mãe, e regozije-se a que te gerou.
願你的父母歡喜, 願那生你的母親快樂。
