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 .
Behold , children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward.
Lo , children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
As arrows in the hand of a mighty man , So are the children of youth.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man ; so are children of the youth.
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.
