2 Esdras 16:44
Print
one who sows as one who will not reap; one who prunes as one who will not harvest;
those who marry, like those who will have no children; and those who do not marry, like those who are widowed.
let the one who sows be like one who will not reap; so also the one who prunes the vines, like one who will not gather the grapes;
them that marry, like those who will have no children; and them that do not marry, like those who are widowed.
