Popular passages
Page 91 - Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
Page 51 - And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Page 62 - And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Page 107 - They shall not build and another inhabit ; They shall not plant and another eat ; For as the days of a tree are the days of my people And mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands They shall not labour in vain. Nor bring forth for trouble ; For they are the seed of the blessed of the Lord, And their offspring with them.
Page 106 - O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever ! Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
Page 106 - For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring: And they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses.
Page 106 - But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.
Page 104 - ... for I, the LORD thy GOD, am a jealous GOD, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me ; and showing mercy unto the thousandth generation of them that love Me and keep my commandments.
