10
you have commanded that from the members themselves (that is, from the breasts) milk, the fruit of the breasts, should be supplied,
11
so that what has been fashioned may be nourished for a time; and afterwards you will still guide it in your mercy.
12
You have nurtured it in your righteousness, and instructed it in your law, and reproved it in your wisdom.
13
You put it to death as your creation, and make it live as your work.
14
If then you will suddenly and quickly destroy what with so great labor was fashioned by your command, to what purpose was it made?
