wiser, wisest
In the King James version neither the word - weaker - not the word - wiser - appear anywhere in the same verse as the word - children.
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.Others have said: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."A: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 isLuk 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.
The terms "wicker" and "wiser" can be found in the King James Version of the Bible in different contexts. "Wicker" appears in Jeremiah 10:9, referring to "wicker work" as a type of craftsmanship. The word "wiser" is found in Proverbs 1:5, where it discusses the importance of the wise increasing their learning.
Since the context of II Timothy 3 mentions "disobedient to parents," you may have inferred the passage refers to children. A statement remotely resembling wiser yet weaker spoken regarding men in the last days reads: II Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Nothing like that in the Bible, and from my experience it seems that each generation is getting more foolish as well as weaker.
Yes, but the good people beat them up.
Perhaps the scripture is Matthew 10:16 which reads: "Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be ye therefore wise as serpents and harmless as doves." These are the words of Jesus Christ, as written in the King James Version of the Holy Bible.
"Each generation will grow wiser and weaker" is not found in the Bible. Its source is unknown, but it is probably based on the words of Walter Pope (1630-1714): "May I govern my passion with an absolute sway, and grow wiser and better, as my strength wears away."
