“My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, that I may answer him that reproacheth me.”
“Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, so that I can answer him who taunts me.”
“Be wise, my son, and bring joy to my heart, then I can answer my tormentor.”
“My son, be wise, and make my heart glad, That I may answer him that reproacheth me.”
Thou. Hebrew, Complutensian, and Sixtus V, “I may,” &c. Septuagint, “and cast reproaches from thee.”
