Galatians 4:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible
25 (For Hagar or Sinai is a mountain in Arabia, and it [a]answered to Jerusalem which now is) and [b]she is in bondage with her children.
26 But Jerusalem, which is [c]above, is free: which is the mother of us all.
27 [d]For it is written, (A)Rejoice thou barren that bearest no children: break forth, and cry, thou that travailest not: for the [e]desolate hath many more children, than she which hath an husband.
