Once I was young, and now I am old. Yet I have never seen the godly abandoned or their children begging for bread.

The godly always give generous loans to others, and their children are a blessing.

For the Lord loves justice, and he will never abandon the godly. He will keep them safe forever, but the children of the wicked will die.

Help him to defend the poor, to rescue the children of the needy, and to crush their oppressors.

We will not hide these truths from our children; we will tell the next generation about the glorious deeds of the Lord , about his power and his mighty wonders.

For he issued his laws to Jacob; he gave his instructions to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children,

so the next generation might know them— even the children not yet born— and they in turn will teach their own children.

I say, ‘You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.

Let us, your servants, see you work again; let our children see your glory.

The children of your people will live in security. Their children's children will thrive in your presence."

The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.

But the love of the Lord remains forever with those who fear him. His salvation extends to the children's children

you children of his servant Abraham, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.

May his children become fatherless, and his wife a widow.

May his children wander as beggars and be driven from their ruined homes.

Let no one be kind to him; let no one pity his fatherless children.

Their children will be successful everywhere; an entire generation of godly people will be blessed.

May the Lord richly bless both you and your children.

Children are a gift from the Lord ; they are a reward from him.

Children born to a young man are like arrows in a warrior's hands.
