Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. (Jer. 31:19) |
Remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. (Eccl. 11:10) |
That our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth. … Happy is that people, that is in such a case; yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord. (Psa. 144:12,15) |
Lord, give him grace, that he obey Thy light; Courage and faith, lest he should fail in sight; Oh knit his heart to Thee, that he be found Steadfast in Thee, and in Thy statutes sound. |
