from men by Your hand, O Jehovah, from men of the world whose portion is in this life, and whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure. They are satisfied with children, and leave an abundance to their infants.

For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.

This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the emptiness of their mind,

not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles, who do not know God;

Therefore do not be like them. For your Father knows the things you have need of before you ask Him.

As a father has compassion on his children, so Jehovah has compassion on those who fear Him.

If a son asks for bread from any father among you, he will not give him a stone, will he? Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a serpent instead of a fish, will he?

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him.

For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things.
