If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he asks for a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent?
Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.
Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened.
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
