New Testament

Psalm 127:2-5 American Standard Version (ASV)

2. It is vain for you to rise up early, To take rest late, To eat the bread of toil; For so he giveth unto his beloved sleep.

3. Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; And the fruit of the womb is his reward.

4. As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth.

5. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate.
