SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:25
Alégrense tu padre y tu madre, y gócese la que te dio a luz.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 25. Thy father and thy mother shall be glad , etc.] That, is when thou art righteous and wise; (see Proverbs 10:1); or “let thy father and thy mother be glad” f631 ; do everything that may make their hearts glad, and their lives easy and comfortable in their old age; by ministering to their necessities, if in any; by treading in their steps, and following their examples; by living soberly and righteously, and behaving wisely; by not only honouring them, but by seeking the honour and glory of God; showing a regard to religion, and supporting it to the utmost of their power; these are things which make the hearts of pious parents glad; and she that bare thee shall rejoice ; thy mother particularly, who bore and brought thee forth with so much pain, and brought thee up with so much care and trouble, will think it an to much recompence for all, if thou art truly wise and religious. Some accommodate this to God our heavenly Father, and to the church, the Jerusalem above, the mother of us all.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 19-28 - The gracious Saviour who purchased pardon and peace for his people with all the affection of a tender parent, counsels us to hear and be wise, and is ready to guide our hearts in his way. Here we have a earnest call to young people, to attend to the advice of their godl parents. If the heart be guided, the steps will be guided. Buy the truth, and sell it not; be willing to part with any thing for it. D not part with it for pleasures, honours, riches, or any thing in thi world. The heart is what the great God requires. We must not think to divide the heart between God and the world; he will have all or none Look to the rule of God's word, the conduct of his providence, and the good examples of his people. Particular cautions are given against sin most destructive to wisdom and grace in the soul. It is really a sham to make a god of the belly. Drunkenness stupifies men, and then all goes to ruin. Licentiousness takes away the heart that should be give to God. Take heed of any approaches toward this sin, it is very hard to retreat from it. It bewitches men to their ruin.
