BABE

BABE used of children generally (Matthew 11=>25; 21=>16; Luke 10=>21; Romans 2=>20). It is used also of those who are weak in Christian faith and knowledge (1 Corinthians 3=>1; Hebrews 5=>13; 1 Peter 2=>2). In Isaiah 3=>4 the word “babes” refers to a succession of weak and wicked princes who reigned over Judah from the death of Josiah downward to the destruction of Jerusalem.
