# Chapter 127
|
||
1 Unless the Lord builds a house,
|
||
the work of the builders is wasted.
|
||
Unless the Lord protects a city,
|
||
guarding it with sentries will do no good.
|
||
2 It is useless for you to work so hard
|
||
from early morning until late at night,
|
||
anxiously working for food to eat;
|
||
for God gives rest to his loved ones.
|
||
3 Children are a gift from the Lord;
|
||
they are a reward from him.
|
||
4 Children born to a young man
|
||
are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
|
||
5 How joyful is the man whose quiver is full of them!
|
||
He will not be put to shame when he confronts his accusers at the city gates. |
