12¶When our sons in their youth are like growing plants,

And our daughters like corner pillars 144:12 Lit cut after the pattern offashioned for a palace,

12Let our sons in their youth be as grown-up plants,

And our daughters as corner pillars fashioned as for a palace;

And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace;

12Then our sons will be like plants

nurtured in their youth,

our daughters like corner pillars

carved to adorn a palace.

12While our sons are young,

they will be like healthy plants.

Our daughters will be like pillars

that have been made to decorate a palace.
