Children Are A Blessing

Mark the blameless man, and behold the upright; For the man of peace will have a posterity.

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, So are the children of one's youth.

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine Within your house, Your children like olive plants Around your table.

Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants, And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;

Grandchildren are the crown of old men, And the glory of sons is their fathers.

His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed.

So Sarai said to Abram, "Now behold, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

"They will live on the land that I gave to Jacob My servant, in which your fathers lived; and they will live on it, they, and their sons and their sons' sons, forever; and David My servant will be their prince forever.

Indeed, may you see your children's children Peace be upon Israel!
