wedding

[low_delta]

Here was something that was read in church at a wedding we saw today.

Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.
Unless the lord watches over the city, in vain the watchman keeps his vigil.
vain too to eat the bread of toil; for he gives to his beloved sleep.
Children are a heritage from the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is a gift.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth.
Happy is the man who has a quiver full of them!
He shall not be put to shame when he contends with his enemies in the gate.


I have no idea what that means.

Line's #4 and #6 are pretty plain and I plan to make jokes about a man's quiver for quite a while. Prepare yourself! *L*

Line #3 is the most cryptic of all. And what do the first three lines have to do with the last four? That was just too weird to hear yesterday.

i know- it's clearly two parts that do not make a whole~
i'd be callin' the minister, sayin' "what the hell were you saying?!"
could've been the couple, but it could have been the minister.
i loved that quiver part! i'm sure i would have at least smirked
during the ceremony!
