"A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish man despiseth his mother."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
A wise son maketh a glad father,.... See Gill on Pro 10:1 ; but a foolish man despiseth his mother; that bore him and brought him up, and perhaps was
too indulgent to him; which aggravates his sin and her sorrow; See Gill on Pro 10:1 ; or causes her to be despised by others, as Jarchi interprets it; such a man's sin, which is great folly, and shows him to be a foolish man, is highly resented by the Lord, and will be severely punished; see Pro 30:17 . The Targum is, "a foolish son despises his mother;'' and so the Septuagint, Syriac, and Arabic versions, which makes the antithesis more clear; and the Hebrew text designs one grown up to man's estate.
