2 Esdras 8:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Because you give life to the body that is now fashioned in the womb and give it members, your creation is preserved in fire and water. For nine months the womb you have fashioned endures what is created in it. ⁹ But both the container and its contents will be conserved by your care. And when the womb at last gives forth what is created in it, ¹⁰ you have commanded that from the members themselves; that is, from the breasts, milk (the fruit of the breasts) should be provided.
