Matthew 7:6-9 1599 Geneva Bible (GNV) 6 ¶ [a]Give ye not that which is holy to dogs, neither cast ye your [b]pearls before swine, lest they tread them under their feet, and turning again, all to rent you. 7 ¶ [c]Ask, and it shall be given you: seek, and ye shall find: knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 8 For whosoever asketh, receiveth: and he that seeketh, findeth: and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened. 9 For what man is there among you, which if his son ask him bread, would give him a stone?

Matthew 7:7 Prayers are a sure refuge in all miseries.
