What does the Bible say about the wise servant?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible describes the wise servant as having dominion over the shameful and receiving an inheritance among the brethren.

Proverbs 17:2 declares that a wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame and shall receive part of the inheritance among the brethren. This wise servant is interpreted as God's chosen servant, who rules over those who have gone astray, essentially referring to God's elect. The passage emphasizes the sovereignty of God's grace in saving sinners who, by their nature, are children of wrath but are redeemed through the mercy of the wise servant, Jesus Christ.
