Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is
good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” But because of the
temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each
woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights,
and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over
her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have
authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another,
except perhaps by agreement for a limited time, that you may devote yourselves
to prayer; but then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you
because of your lack of self-control. ...

foreigners' palace is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt. Therefore
strong peoples will glorify you; cities of ruthless nations will fear you. For
you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his
distress, a shelter from the storm and a shade from the heat; for the breath of
the ruthless is like a storm against a wall, like heat in a dry place. You subdue
the noise of the foreigners; as heat by the shade of a cloud, so the song of
the ruthless is put down. ...
A Song of Ascents. Of Solomon. Unless the Lord builds the
house, those who build it labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the city,
the watchman stays awake in vain.
