1
A song of the stairway, by King Solomon If God’s grace doesn’t help the builders, they will labor in vain to build a house. If God’s mercy doesn’t protect the city, all the sentries will circle it in vain.
2
It really is senseless to work so hard from early morning till late at night, toiling to make a living for fear of not having enough. God can provide for his lovers even while they sleep!
3
Children are God’s love-gift; they are heaven’s generous reward.
4
Children born to a young couple will one day rise to protect and provide for their parents.[1]
5
Happy will be the couple who has many of them! A household full of children will not bring shame on your name but victory when you face your enemies, for your offspring will have influence and honor[2] to prevail on your behalf!
