4 Maccabees 16:7-9
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
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. 9 Alas for my children, some unmarried, others married and without offspring.[a] I shall not see your children or have the happiness of being called grandmother.
