Job 15:18

You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up.

For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and from the one end of the sky to the other, whether there has been anything as great as this thing is, or has been heard like it?

Remember the days of old. Consider the years of many generations. Ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.

Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, “I am young, and you are very old; Therefore I held back, and didn’t dare show you my opinion.

Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails.

and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

“Please inquire of past generations. Find out about the learning of their fathers.

Tell your children about it, and have your children tell their children, and their children, another generation.

Even to old age I am he, and even to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear. Yes, I will carry, and will deliver.

Hear this, you elders, And listen, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this ever happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers?

But when Jesus saw it, he was moved with indignation, and said to them, “Allow the little children to come to me! Don’t forbid them, for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.

Yes, I will make every effort that you may always be able to remember these things even after my departure.

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of Yahweh in the land of the living.

I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.

Don’t throw me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me.

They will still produce fruit in old age. They will be full of sap and green,

You didn’t choose me, but I chose you and appointed you, that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain; that whatever you will ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you.

For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of Yahweh, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that Yahweh may bring on Abraham that which he has spoken of him.”

He said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he only is left. If harm happens to him along the way in which you go, then you will bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.”

It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’

You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall tell him, ‘By strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.

Now Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses’ father-in-law, heard of all that God had done for Moses, and for Israel his people, how Yahweh had brought Israel out of Egypt.

that this may be a sign among you, that when your children ask in the future, saying, ‘What do you mean by these stones?’

When he made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck broke, and he died, for he was an old man and heavy. He had judged Israel forty years.

With aged men is wisdom, in length of days understanding.

He removes the speech of those who are trusted, and takes away the understanding of the elders.

With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much elder than your father.

Don’t you know this from old time, since man was placed on earth,

that I may show all of your praise. I will rejoice in your salvation in the gates of the daughter of Zion.

They shall come and shall declare his righteousness to a people that shall be born, for he has done it.

that I may make the voice of thanksgiving to be heard and tell of all your wondrous deeds.

We have heard with our ears, God; our fathers have told us what work you did in their days, in the days of old.

As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of Yahweh of Armies, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever.

Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

Come and hear, all you who fear God. I will declare what he has done for my soul.

Yes, even when I am old and gray-haired, God, don’t forsake me, until I have declared your strength to the next generation, your might to everyone who is to come.

We will not hide them from their children, telling to the generation to come the praises of Yahweh, his strength, and his wondrous deeds that he has done.

that the generation to come might know, even the children who should be born; who should arise and tell their children,

This will be written for the generation to come. A people which will be created will praise Yah.

Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!

I will observe your statutes. Don’t utterly forsake me.

Let me understand the teaching of your precepts! Then I will meditate on your wondrous works.

Let my tongue sing of your word, for all your commandments are righteousness.

Let my soul live, that I may praise you. Let your ordinances help me.

All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, Yahweh, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

One generation will commend your works to another, and will declare your mighty acts.

Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.

yes, they shall be afraid of heights, and terrors will be on the way; and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goes to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:

Yahweh, you are my God. I will exalt you! I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.

The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do today. The father shall make known your truth to the children.

Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Yahweh! Awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn’t it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?

Who has believed our message? To whom has Yahweh’s arm been revealed?

It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has worked toward me.

Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine; yes, their children will see it, and rejoice. Their heart will be glad in Yahweh.

Cretans and Arabians: we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come.

But if I live on in the flesh, this will bring fruit from my work; yet I don’t know what I will choose.

yet for love’s sake I rather beg, being such a one as Paul, the aged, but also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

When Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, “My son?” He said to him, “Here I am.”

Now Eli was ninety-eight years old. His eyes were set, so that he could not see.

I will not die, but live, and declare Yah’s works.

While I live, I will praise Yahweh. I will sing praises to my God as long as I exist.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.

For David, after he had in his own generation served the counsel of God, fell asleep, was laid with his fathers, and saw decay.
