Chapter 127
|
1
|
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain
that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman
waketh but in vain. |
2
|
It is vain for you to rise up early, to sit up late,
to eat the bread of sorrows: for so he giveth his beloved
sleep. |
3
|
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit
of the womb is his reward. |
4
|
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children
of the youth. |
5
|
Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with
the enemies in the gate. |
