Psalm 127:1-5
1) Unless Yahweh builds the house, They labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, The watchman guards it in vain.
2) It is vain for you to rise up early, To stay up late, Eating the bread of toil; For he gives sleep to his loved ones.
3) Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.
4) As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth.
5) Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won‘t be put to shame when they speak with their enemies in the gate. Psalm 128 A Song of Ascents.
Psalm 128:1-6
1) Blessed is everyone who fears Yahweh, Who walks in his ways.
2) For you will eat the labor of your hands. You will be happy, and it will be well with you.
3) Your wife will be as a fruitful vine, In the innermost parts of your house; Your children like olive plants, Around your table.
4) Behold, thus is the man blessed who fears Yahweh.
5) May Yahweh bless you out of Zion, And may you see the good of Jerusalem all the days of your life.
6) Yes, may you see your children‘s children. Peace be upon Israel. Psalm 129 A Song of Ascents.
Proverbs 22:6,15
6) Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.
15) Folly is bound up in the heart of a child: The rod of discipline drives it far from him.
Proverbs 29:15
15) The rod of correction gives wisdom, But a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.
Ephesians 6:4
4) You fathers, don‘t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
Hebrews 12:5-17
5) and you have forgotten the exhortation which reasons with you as with sons, "My son, don‘t take lightly the chastening of the Lord, Nor faint when you are reproved by him;
6) For whom the Lord loves, he chastens, And scourges every son whom he receives."
7) It is for discipline that you endure. God deals with you as with sons, for what son is there whom his father doesn‘t discipline?
8) But if you are without discipline, whereof all have been made partakers, then are you illegitimate, and not sons.
9) Furthermore, we had the fathers of our flesh to chasten us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much rather be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live?
10) For they indeed, for a few days, punished us as seemed good to them; but he for our profit, that we may be partakers of his holiness.
11) All chastening seems for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised thereby.
12) Therefore, lift up the hands that hang down and the feeble knees,
13) and make straight paths for your feet, that that which is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.
14) Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord,
15) looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby the many be defiled;
16) lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person, as Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal.
17) For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind though he sought it diligently with tears.
