IV Maccabees 16:10

10 Ah, that I who had many and fair children, should be a lone widow full of sorrows!

IV Maccabees 16:10 In-Context

8 Vainly, for your sakes, O sons, have I endured many pangs, and the more difficult anxieties of rearing.
9 Alas, of my children, some of you unmarried, and some who have married to no profit, I shall not see your children, nor be felicitated as a grandmother.
10 Ah, that I who had many and fair children, should be a lone widow full of sorrows!
11 Nor, should I die, shall I have a son to bury me. But with such a lament as this the holy and God-fearing mother bewailed none of them.
12 Nor did she divert any of them from death, nor grieve for them as for the dead.
