בְּ֭נִי אִם־חָכַ֣ם לִבֶּ֑ךָ יִשְׂמַ֖ח לִבִּ֣י גַם־אָֽנִי׃
Anakku, jika hatimu bijak, hatiku pun akan bersukacita, ya, hatiku sendiri.
Penei David
Alternatively, it is possible [to find a hint] in what was written by the Sages, of blessed memory, and which was cited by Zera Berakh, section 3 on this order, that King David, peace be upon him, held that wisdom is in the head and that is why he started Psalms with [the letter,] alef, and King Shlomo disagreed with him, [holding] that wisdom is in the heart, and hence he started the Book of Proverbs with a [letter,] mem to hint that wisdom is in the heart [which is in the middle of the body], just like mem is in the middle of the letters. And this is what King David, peace be upon him, said (Proverbs 23:15), "My son, if your heart is wise:" that if the main understanding is like you, that wisdom is in the heart and this is what is meant by "your heart is wise" - even though it is against my rationale - "my heart will rejoice;" since when a son is victorious over his father [in argumentation], [a father] rejoices, as He said [with apparent joy] (Baba Metzia 59b), "my children (which is also an acrostic for the Children of Israel) have defeated me, they have defeated me." This is the essence of the words of the rabbi [in] Zera Barech, section 3, see there at length.
