Out of the Mouth of Babes

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

The Bible has 2 very interesting and related quotes about “out of the mouth of babes”

In Psalms 8:2 we find this:

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.”

In Matthew 21:16 we find this:

“And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise”

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.

- Bible, Quoted in Psalms and Poverbs

A quick comment:

This is not the unhealthy kind of fear, but instead a reverent form of respect and fear of consequence for being unholy and unworthy in the presence of the most holy.

This is often misunderstood and humulity is so central to understanding this nd being like this.
