4 Maccabees 16:6-8
Revised Standard Version
6 “O how wretched am I and many times unhappy! After bearing seven children, I am now the mother of none! 7 O seven childbirths all in vain, seven profitless pregnancies, fruitless nurturings and wretched nursings! 8 In vain, my sons, I endured many birth-pangs for you, and the more grievous anxieties of your upbringing.
