11 Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall;
31 But they that wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.
1 THE PROVERBS of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel;
2 To know wisdom and instruction; to comprehend the words of understanding;
3 To receive the discipline of wisdom, justice, and right, and equity;
4 To give prudence to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion;
5 For Thou art my hope; O Lord GOD, my trust from my youth.
10 Therefore remove vexation from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for childhood and youth are vanity.
7 Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses My servant commanded thee; turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest.
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein; for then thou shalt make thy ways prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of good courage; be not affrighted, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.'
11 Thy word have I laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee.
12 Both young men and maidens, old men and children;
13 Let them praise the name of the LORD, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
17 Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.
18 And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the chief of the officers brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.
19 And the king spoke with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore stood they before the king.
13 Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.
1 Remember then thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say: 'I have no pleasure in them';
2 Before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;
3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out shall be darkened in the windows,
6 Then said I: 'Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak; for I am a child.'
7 But the LORD said unto me: say not: I am a child; for to whomsoever I shall send thee thou shalt go, and whatsoever I shall command thee thou shalt speak.
8 Be not afraid of them; for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
9 BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man keep his way pure? By taking heed thereto according to Thy word.
29 The glory of young men is their strength; and the beauty of old men is the hoary head.
19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thy heart in the way.
20 Be not among winebibbers; among gluttonous eaters of flesh;
21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty; and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags.
22 Hearken unto thy father that begot thee, and despise not thy mother when she is old.
11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
12 And ye shall call upon Me, and go, and pray unto Me, and I will hearken unto you.
13 And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.
14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD, and I will turn your captivity, and gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you back unto the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive.
27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.
1 Remember then thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say: 'I have no pleasure in them';
9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes; but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions;
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out My spirit.
