God causes those who are alone to live in households; He delivers those who are bound into prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.

And Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

She also said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would suckle a son? For I have borne him a son in his old age.

And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

And God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and opened her womb.

And she conceived and bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.

Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, and the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children has become feeble.

Rejoice, O barren one, you who have not borne; break forth into screams of delight, you who have not writhed in pangs. For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the one who is married, says Jehovah.

But the angel said to him, Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John.

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb.

For it is written: Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear. Break forth and shout, you who are not in labor. For the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband.
