2 Esdras 5:53

53 And she shall answer thee, `They that are born in the strength of youth are of one fashion, and they that are born in the time of age, when the womb faileth, are otherwise.'

2 Esdras 5:53 In-Context

51 He answered me and said, "Ask a woman that beareth children, and she shall tell thee.

52 Say unto her, `Why are not they whom thou hast now brought forth like those that were before, but less of stature?'

53 And she shall answer thee, `They that are born in the strength of youth are of one fashion, and they that are born in the time of age, when the womb faileth, are otherwise.'

54 Therefore consider thou also how ye are less of stature than those that were before you.

55 And so are they that come after you less than ye, as the creatures which now begin to be old and have passed over the strength of youth."
