Ps. 73:3 - For I was envious of the arrogant when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For they have no pangs until death; their bodies are fat and sleek. 5 They are not in trouble as others are; they are not stricken like the rest of mankind. 6 Therefore pride
is their necklace; violence covers them as a garment. 7 Their eyes swell out through
fatness; their hearts overflow with follies.
Ps. 73:11-15 Is there knowledge in the Most High?”
12 Behold, these are the wicked; always at ease, they increase in riches. 13 All in vain have I kept my heart clean and washed my
hands in innocence. 14 For all the day long I have been stricken and rebuked every
morning.
15 If I had said, “I will speak thus,” I would have betrayed the generation of your
children.
Ps. 73: 16-19 16 But when I thought how to understand
this, it seemed to me a wearisome task, 17 until I went into the sanctuary of God;
then I discerned their end. 18 Truly you set them in slippery places; you make them fall
to ruin. 19 How they are destroyed in a moment, swept away utterly by terrors!
Ps. 73: 27 -28 27 For behold, those who are far from you
shall perish; you put an end to everyone who is unfaithful to you.
28 But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord God my refuge, that I
may tell of all your works.
1 Sam. 1:27 For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition that I
made to him. Ps. 127:3-5 Behold, children are a heritage
from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.
5 Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he
speaks with his enemies in the gate.
Ps. 139:13-16 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my
mother's womb. 14 I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[a]
Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from
you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the
earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
Mt. 11:25 25 At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the
wise and understanding and revealed them to little children;
Lk. 10:21 21 In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I thank you,
Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little
children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will
He. 12:7,10-11 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does
not discipline? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he
disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. 11 For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to
those who have been trained by it.
Pr. 13:24 Whoever spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is diligent to
discipline him Pr. 23:13 Do not withhold discipline from a
child; if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
Ps. 22:9 Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart
from it.
