6 That so the children yet unborn, And ages coming might them know, Who should arise, and them likewise In time unto their children show.
7 That they might not forge• God's works, But on him set their hope and heart; And keep all his commandments, And never more from them depart.
7 That they might not forge• God's works, But on him set their hope and heart; And keep all his commandements, And never more from them depart.
8 And might not as their ancestors, Be stubborn and rebellious found; A race whose heart was not set right, Whose spirit was not with God found.
