4 Maccabees 16:9

9 "Look at my children! Some aren't married, others are married, but none of them have children! Now I will never see your children or have the pleasure of being a grandmother.

4 Maccabees 16:9 In-Context

7 “Look at how I gave birth seven times all for nothing! Seven pregnancies, without anything to show for it! Years of fruitless childcare and years of miserable nursing!
8 My sons, I bore the long pains of labor for you and even more stress in raising you for no reason!
9 "Look at my children! Some aren't married, others are married, but none of them have children! Now I will never see your children or have the pleasure of being a grandmother.
10 I had so many and such beautiful children, and now I'm a widow and left all alone in my many sorrows.
11 When I die, I won't have any of my sons to bury me."
