Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves and does not miscarry.
None shall miscarry or be barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
Ephraim’s glory shall fly away like a bird— no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
Ephraim, as I have seen, was like a young palm planted in a meadow; but Ephraim must lead his children out to slaughter.
Ephraim is stricken; their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit. Even though they give birth, I will put their beloved children to death.
And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days!
Alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! For there will be great distress upon the earth and wrath against this people.
For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’
I think that in view of the present distress it is good for a person to remain as he is.
Cursed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground, the increase of your herds and the young of your flock.
