2 Esdras 16:44

44 them that marry, like those who will have no children; and them that do not marry, like those who are widowed.

2 Esdras 16:44 In-Context

42 let him that does business be like one who will not make a profit; and let him that builds a house be like one who will not live in it;

43 let him that sows be like one who will not reap; so also him that prunes the vines, like one who will not gather the grapes;

44 them that marry, like those who will have no children; and them that do not marry, like those who are widowed.

45 Because those who labor, labor in vain;

46 for strangers shall gather their fruits, and plunder their goods, and overthrow their houses, and take their children captive; for in captivity and famine they will beget their children.
