2 Esdras 8:11

11 that the thing which is fashioned may be nourished for a time till Thou dispose it to Thy mercy.

2 Esdras 8:11 In-Context

9 But that which keepeth and is kept shall both be preserved; and when the time cometh, the womb preserved delivereth up the things that grew in it.

10 For Thou hast commanded out of the parts of the body, that is to say, out of the breasts, milk to be given, which is the fruit of the breasts,

11 that the thing which is fashioned may be nourished for a time till Thou dispose it to Thy mercy.

12 Thou brought it up with Thy righteousness, and nurtured it in Thy law, and reformed it with Thy judgment.

13 And Thou shalt mortify it as Thy creature, and quicken it as Thy work.
