Children are an inheritance from the Lord

1
If people are building a house without Yahweh helping them, they are building it in vain. Similarly, if Yahweh does not protect a city, it is useless for guards to stay awake at night.
2
It is also useless to arise very early and go to sleep late at night so that you can work hard all day to earn money to buy food because Yahweh gives food to those whom he loves even while they sleep.
3
Children are a gift that comes to parents from Yahweh; they are a reward from him.
4
If a man has sons while he is still young, when they grow up, they will be able to help him defend his family as a soldier can defend himself if he has a bow and arrows in his hand.
5
How fortunate is a man who has many sons; he is like a soldier who has many arrows in his quiver. If a man with his many grown sons is taken by his enemies to the place where they decide matters, his enemies will never be able to defeat that man because his sons will help to defend him.

Kinder sind ein Erbe des HERRN

1
Stufengesang Salomons. Wenn der Herr nicht das Haus baut, so mühen sich die Bauleute umsonst; wenn der Herr nicht die Stadt behütet, so wacht der Hüter umsonst.
2
Vergeblich ist es für euch, vor Tage aufzustehen; stehet immer auf, nachdem ihr lange gesessen, die ihr das Brot der Schmerzen esset! während er seinen Geliebten Schlaf gibt.
3
Sehet, vom Herrn verliehener Besitz sind Kinder, ein Lohn von ihm die Leibesfrucht.
4
Wie Pfeile in der Hand eines Helden, so sind die Kinder der Vertriebenen.
5
Glückselig der Mann, der sein Verlangen damit erfüllt sieht; er wird nicht zuschanden, wenn er mit seinen Feinden im Tore rechtet.
