Their children are firmly established in their presence, their offspring before their eyes.

They allow their children to run like a flock; their little ones dance about.

You may say, ‘God stores up a man's punishment for his children!' Instead let him repay the man himself so that he may know it!

Like wild donkeys in the desert they go out to their labor, seeking diligently for food; the wasteland provides food for them and for their children.

If his children increase—it is for the sword! His offspring never have enough to eat.

when the Almighty was still with me and my children were around me;

Therefore I despise myself, and I repent in dust and ashes! After the Lord had spoken these things to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My anger is stirred up against you and your two friends, because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has. So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will intercede for you, and I will respect him, so that I do not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has." So they went, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and did just as the Lord had told them; and the Lord had respect for Job. So the Lord restored what Job had lost after he prayed for his friends, and the Lord doubled all that had belonged to Job. So they came to him, all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they dined with him in his house. They comforted him and consoled him for all the trouble the Lord had brought on him, and each one gave him a piece of silver and a gold ring. So the Lord blessed the second part of Job's life more than the first. He had 14,000 sheep, 6,000 camels, 1,000 yoke of oxen, and 1,000 female donkeys. And he also had seven sons and three daughters. The first daughter he named Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-Happuch. Nowhere in all the land could women be found who were as beautiful as Job's daughters, and their father granted them an inheritance alongside their brothers. After this Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation. And so Job died, old and full of days.

After this Job lived 140 years; he saw his children and their children to the fourth generation.

From the mouths of children and nursing babies you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries, so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy.

Lord , use your power to deliver me from these murderers, from the murderers of this world! They enjoy prosperity; you overwhelm them with the riches they desire. They have many children, and leave their wealth to their offspring.

Come children! Listen to me! I will teach you what it means to fear the Lord .

I was once young, now I am old. I have never seen a godly man abandoned, or his children forced to search for food.

All day long he shows compassion and lends to others, and his children are blessed.

For the Lord promotes justice, and never abandons his faithful followers. They are permanently secure, but the children of evil men are wiped out.

He will defend the oppressed among the people; he will deliver the children of the poor and crush the oppressor.

You delivered your people by your strength— the children of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

so that the next generation, children yet to be born, might know about them. They will grow up and tell their descendants about them.

The children of your servants will settle down here, and their descendants will live securely in your presence."

As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on his faithful followers.

O children of Abraham, God's servant, you descendants of Jacob, God's chosen ones!
