i1 [A Song of Ascents for Solomon.] i0 par Unless Jehovah builds the house, they labor in vain who build it; unless Jehovah guards the city, the watchman stays awake in vain.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

Out of the ground Jehovah God formed every living thing of the field and every flying creature of the heavens, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from Jehovah.

Houses and riches are the inheritance from fathers, but a prudent wife is from Jehovah.

Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but prostitutes and adulterers God will judge.
