4 Maccabees 16:7
Print
“Look at how I gave birth seven times all for nothing! Seven pregnancies, without anything to show for it! Years of fruitless childcare and years of miserable nursing!
O seven childbirths all in vain, seven profitless pregnancies, fruitless nurturings and wretched nursings!
O seven childbirths all in vain, seven profitless pregnancies, fruitless nurturings and wretched nursings!
O seven childbirths all in vain, seven profitless pregnancies, fruitless nurturings and wretched nursings!
