Verse 5

Job 29:5

I. When our children are children, we should really have them "about us."

II. When our children are about us, we should consider, with Job, that we are prosperous.

III. When our children are about us, we should tend them very carefully, and train them up in the way they should go.

IV. When our children are about us, we should be careful, not only to teach them, but to learn the lessons which they can teach us.

V. When our children are about us, we should anticipate the time when, as in the case of the patriarch, they will all be away.

A. Raleigh, From Dawn to the Perfect Day, p. 15.
