1Unless the LORD builds the house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain. (مز 121:4)2It is in vain that you rise up early and go late to rest, eating the bread of anxious toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep. (تك 3:17; تك 3:19; مز 60:5; مر 4:26; مر 4:27)3Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. (تك 33:5; تث 28:4; مز 132:11)4Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children[1] of one’s youth. (مز 120:4)5Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate.[2] (أي 5:4)
