Only the Lord can bless a home
1Without the help of the Lord it is useless to build a home or to guard a city.
2It is useless to get up early and stay up late in order to earn a living. God takes care of his own, even while they sleep.
3Children are a blessing and a gift from the Lord.
4Having a lot of children to take care of you in your old age is like a warrior with a lot of arrows.
5The more you have, the better off you will be, because they will protect you when your enemies attack with arguments.
