- Kapitel 127 -

Children are an inheritance from the Lord

1
Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it. Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
2
It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow. When he shall give sleep to his beloved,
3
Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
4
As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
5
Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.

Children are an inheritance from the Lord

1
Unless the LORD builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.
2
It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.
3
Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is his reward.
4
As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, so are the children of youth.
5
Happy is the man who has his quiver full of them. They won’t be disappointed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
