And of which of you that is a father shall his son ask a loaf, and he give him a stone? or a fish, and he for a fish give him a serpent?
Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee.
or if he shall ask for a fish, will give him a serpent?
Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask him for a loaf, will give him a stone;
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he give him a scorpion?
