And Jacob was angry with Rachel, and said to her, Am I in the place of God, who has deprived you of the fruit of the womb?

And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God gave me here. And Jacob said, Bring them to me, that I may bless them.

And Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her; and the Lord gave her conception, and she bore a son.

For I have prayed for this child; and the Lord has given me my request that I asked of Him.

And of all my sons, (for the Lord has given me many sons) He has chosen Solomon my son, to set him on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

Behold, the inheritance of the Lord, children, the reward of the fruit of the womb.

Behold I and the children which God has given me; and they shall be [for] signs and wonders in the house of Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells in Mount Zion.

And again: "I will put My trust in Him." And again: "Behold I and the children to whom God has given Me."
