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.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 127 of Psalms. Psalm 127 challenges human self-sufficiency in building, protection, and work. Building a house, guarding a city, or rising early is useless if the Lord does not sustain the work. The psalm connects this dependence with family and presents children as an inheritance from the Lord. The image of arrows in the hands of a warrior highlights the value of descendants who participate in the continuity and defense of the community.
