Galatians 4:25-27
New Catholic Bible

25 Hagar stands for Sinai, a mountain in Arabia, and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, for she is in slavery together with her children. 26 However, the Jerusalem that is above is the free woman, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written,

“Rejoice, you barren woman
    who never bore a child;
break forth in song and shout with joy,
    you who never were in labor.
For more numerous are the children of the deserted wife
    than the children of the one who has a husband.”

Galatians 4:25-27
New International Version

25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above(A) is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written:

“Be glad, barren woman,
    you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
    you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
    than of her who has a husband.”[a](B)
