My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice, even mine.
My son, if thine heart be wise, my heart shall rejoice. Resumption of the appeal, Proverbs 22:19. 'Lord, let thy blessing so accompany my endeavour, that all my sons may be Benaiahs (the Lord's building), then they will be all Abners (their father's light); and that all my daughters may be Bethiahs (Bethuels? the Lord's daughters), and then they will be all Abigails (their father's joy)' (Swinnock in Bridges).
