II Samuel 3:1 says, 'Now there was long war between the house of Saul and the house of David: but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weaker.'
Each generation, the people grew stronger and weaker even though they were of two different houses.
There is no such statement in The Bible.

A:
I do not recall any such passage, so I started digging with Bible software that allows phrase searches as well as single-word searches. Having scoured five different translations using the keywords "children," "your children," "the children," "children will," and "weaker and wiser," I can report with some assurance that the Bible doesn't even come close to saying such a thing. (I can also report that the phrase, "The children of Israel" is probably the single most-often repeated phrase in the Old Testament!) Children aside, none of the translations I searched (KJV, NKJV, Standard, Douay Rheims and NIV) even contains the phrase, "weaker and wiser."
A:
It's somewhat surprising to discover that the word "weaker" appears in only two verses in the King James translation, and "wiser" only eight times. None of the references have anything to do with literal children as in "young people."

The only verse that comes anywhere close to the statement in the question is the King James rendering of Luke 16:8 - And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.
There is no such statement in the Bible.
The only verse in the King James version in which the word - wiser - and the word - children - appear is
- Luk 16:8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light.

To me it sounds as if a child does not have the strength of a older man, but has a grown mans aged knowlege & the older man thoughts become weaker but still have strength in the flesh.

What verse in the bible say children will be weaker and wiser?
In the King James version neither the word - weaker - not the word - wiser - appear anywhere in the same verse as the word - children.

Nothing like that in the Bible, and from my experience it seems that each generation is getting more foolish as well as weaker.

no. wiser in what? religion or God?

You would say wiser - as in... Adam is wiser than Eve.

Are men and women epual?
I think you meant equal. The bible say that all men are created equal, however the woman is not a man. But she is a hu-man. However, the bible also say that she is the weaker vessal. So in my human opinion, although I would like to say yes, I believe the answer is no. Not saying one is better than the other.

The Bible teaches the Golden Rule. Do unto others as you would have done unto you. Parents should support their children and when it becomes necessary, children should support their parents. In the Bible, the focus of the parent/child relationship was on love, honor, and respect as well as discipline and instruction (Eph. 6:1-4).
