'Children' in the Bible

When their time of feasting had concluded, Job would rise early in the morning to send for them and consecrate them to God. He would offer a burnt offering for each one, because Job thought, "Perhaps my children sinned by cursing God in their hearts." Job did this time and again.

Some time later, when his children were celebrating in their oldest brother's house,

While this messenger was still speaking, another came and announced, "Your children were celebrating in their oldest brother's house

His children are far from deliverance; they'll be maltreated before they leave home, with no one to rescue them.

You'll know that you'll have many children; and that your offspring will be like the grass of the earth.

"If your children sin against him, he'll make them a prisoner of their sins.

"If his children are honored, he doesn't know it; if they become insignificant, he never perceives it.

Now as for the one who testifies against his friends to take their property, even the eyes of his children will fail.

He has no children or descendants within his own people; and no survivors where he once lived.

My wife says my breath stinks; even my children say I smell bad!

Even little children hate me; when I get up, they mock me.

Their children grow up while they're alive, and they live to see their grandchildren.

They release their children to play like sheep; their young ones dance about,

God stores up their iniquity to repay their children; making them repay so that they may be aware.

How much less is man, who is only a maggot, or a man's children, who are only worms!"

If he has many children, their destiny is to die by the sword, and his descendants won't have enough food.

"The Almighty was still with me back then, and my children were still around me.

Job lived 140 years after this, and saw his children and grandchildren to the fourth generation.
