Dia dos avós
Os avós são tesouros vivos de sabedoria e fé. A Bíblia honra os mais velhos e celebra a transmissão de fé entre gerações — dos avós aos netos e destes aos que virão.
A bênção dos avós
A coroa dos velhos são os filhos dos filhos. A misericórdia de Deus é de geração em geração sobre os que o temem.
6 The crown of old men, consists of childrens children, and the adornment of children, is their fathers.
17 But, the lovingkindness of Yahweh, is from one age even to another, Upon them who revere him, And his righteousness, to childrens children:
25 Young, have I been, moreover am old,Yet have I not seen, A righteous man forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread:
4 Generation unto generation, shall celebrate thy works, and, thy mighty deeds, shall they tell:
5 For good is Yahweh, Age-abiding is his lovingkindness, And, unto generation after generation, his faithfulness.
Força e fidelidade
Mesmo na velhice darão frutos. Os cabelos brancos são coroa de glória. Deus não abandona seus filhos na idade avançada.
14 Still shall they bear fruit in old age, Vigorous and fresh, shall they be:15 To declare that upright is Yahweh, My Rock, and no perversity in him.
31 A crown of adorning, is a hoary head, in the way of righteousness, it should be found.
4 Even unto old age, I, am, the same, And unto grey hairs, I, will bear the burden,I have made and, I, will carry, Yea, I, will bear the burden and will deliver,
30 Youths both faint and grow weary, And, young warriorsthey fall, they fall;31 But, they who wait for Yahweh, shall renew their strength, They shall mount on strong pinion like eagles,They shall run and not grew weary, They shall walk and not faint.
9 Only take thou heed to thyself and keep thy soul diligently, so that thou forget not the things which thine own eyes have seen, and so that they go not out of thy heart, all the days of thy life,but thou shalt make them known unto thy sons and unto thy sons sons:
