4 Maccabees 16:6-8
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
6 “O how wretched am I and thrice-wretched over and over! 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.
