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. |
