Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.

Again, they are minished and brought low through oppression, affliction, and sorrow.

Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

A woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars.
