If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he shall ask a fish, will 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? yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget thee.
Or if he shall ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
Or what man is there of you, who, if his son shall ask bread, will give him a stone?
For every one that asketh, receiveth; and he that seeketh, findeth; and to him that knocketh, the door shall be opened.
Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?
