13 For, thou, didst possess thyself of my reins, thou didst weave me together in the womb of my mother.

14 I thank thee, in that fearfully was my being distinguished, Wonderful are thy works, and, mine own soul, is observing intently!15 My substance was not hid from thee,when I was made in secret, when I was skilfully figured in the lower parts of the earth.16 Mine unfinished substance, thine eyes beheld, and, in thy book, all the parts thereof were written,the days they should be fashioned! while yet there was not one among them.

5 Before I formed thee at thy birth, I took knowledge of thee, And before thy nativity, I hallowed thee,A prophet to the nations, I appointed thee.

9 For, thou, art he that severed me from the womb, he that caused me to trust, upon the breasts of my mother;

5 Just as thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, when the body is in the womb of her that is with child, even, so, canst thou not know the work of God, who maketh all.

9 Could, I, bring to the birth and not cause to bring forth? saith Yahweh. Or, I, be causing to bring forth and then prevent? Saith thy God.

3 Lo! an inheritance from Yahweh, are children, A reward, the fruit of the womb:

17 Every good giving, and every perfect gift, is, from above, coming down from the Father of lightswith whom is no alternation, nor shadow cast, by turning:

27 For this boy, I prayed,And Yahweh hath given me my petition which I asked of him.

21 A woman, as soon as she is about to bring forth, hath, grief, because her hour hath come; but, as soon as she hath given birth to the child, no longer, remembereth she the anguish, by reason of the joy, that a human being into the world hath been born.

14 But, Jesus, saidSuffer the childrenand do not hinder themto come unto me,for, of such, is the kingdom of the heavens.

16 And, folding them in his arms, he was blessing them, having laid his hands upon them.
