ગુજરાતીગીતશાસ્ત્ર ૧૨૭:૨
તમારું વહેલું ઊઠવું, અને મોડું સૂવું, અને કષ્ટ વેઠીને રોટલી ખાવી તે પણ વ્યર્થ છે, કેમ કે યહોવાહ પોતાના વહાલાઓને ઊંઘમાં આપે છે.
हिन्दीभजन संहिता १२७:२
तुम जो सवेरे उठते और देर करके विश्राम करते और कठोर परिश्रम की रोटी खाते हो, यह सब तुम्हारे लिये व्यर्थ ही है; क्योंकि वह अपने प्रियों को यों ही नींद प्रदान करता है।

In context

1Unless the LORD builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless the LORD watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain.

2It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil, for he gives sleep to his loved ones.

3Behold, children are a heritage of the LORD. The fruit of the womb is his reward.

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