2 Esdras 8:9-11
Revised Standard Version
9 But that which keeps and that which is kept shall both be kept by thy keeping.[a] And when the womb gives up again what has been created in it, 10 thou hast commanded that from the members themselves (that is, from the breasts) milk should be supplied which is the fruit of the breasts, 11 so that what has been fashioned may be nourished for a time; and afterwards thou wilt guide him in thy mercy.
