49:7None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him:

49:8(For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceaseth for ever:)

127:1Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.

127:2It 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.
