Psalms 127:3-5 3 Behold,
children are a gift of the Lord,
The fruit of the womb is a reward. 4 Like arrows in the hand of a warrior,
So are the children of one’s youth. 5 How blessed is the man whose quiver is
full of them; They will not be ashamed When they speak with their enemies in
the gate.
Jeremiah 1:4-5 4 Now

were born I consecrated you.
Pro 23:13-14 13 Do not

from Sheol.

15 Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline
will remove it far from him.
Matt. 18:14
“So it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these
little ones perish.
