Proverbs 23


Proverbs 23:1-3

Gluttony, interestingly, translates the Hebrew nep̱eš, which has a variety of meanings including physical life (Pro_13:3, Pro_13:8), oneself (Pro_19:8; Pro_21:23), one’s appetite (Pro_16:26) or craving (Pro_10:3), and the seat of those cravings (Pro_21:10 is lit., “the wicked soul craves”). From that stems the idea of gluttony in Pro_23:2.  BKC

"My son, if your heart is wise, my heart too will be glad." Proverbs 23:13

I definitely feel this way about our children--if they choose wisely, it makes me happy and content.
