guarding it with sentries will do no good.

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.
It is useless for you to work so hard
from early morning until late at night,
anxiously working for food to eat;
for God gives rest to his loved ones.

Children are a gift from the LORD;
they are a reward from him.
they are a reward from him.
As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth.
Children born to a young man
are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
are like arrows in a warrior’s hands.
