2 Kings 2:23

But they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets, until the wrath of the LORD arose against his people, till there was no remedy.

Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.

But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.

Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.

Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.

Ah sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children that are corrupters: they have forsaken the LORD, they have provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, they are gone away backward.

But prophesy not again any more at Bethel: for it is the king’s chapel, and it is the king’s court.

The inhabitants of Samaria shall fear because of the calves of Bethaven: for the people thereof shall mourn over it, and the priests thereof that rejoiced on it, for the glory thereof, because it is departed from it.

Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right.

But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: yea, the abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew it not; they did tear me, and ceased not:

Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:

So shall Bethel do unto you because of your great wickedness: in a morning shall the king of Israel utterly be cut off.

But seek not Bethel, nor enter into Gilgal, and pass not to Beersheba: for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity, and Bethel shall come to nought.

That in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel upon him I will also visit the altars of Bethel: and the horns of the altar shall be cut off, and fall to the ground.

And the people shall be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbour: the child shall behave himself proudly against the ancient, and the base against the honourable.

The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
