For it is written:“Rejoice, O barren woman,who bears no children;break forth and cry aloud,you who have never travailed;because more are the children of the desolate womanthan of her who has a husband.”

By faith Sarah, even though she was barren and beyond the proper age, was enabled to conceive a child, because she considered Him faithful who had promised.

But they had no children, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well along in years.

Look, even Elizabeth your relative has conceived a son in her old age, and she who was called barren is in her sixth month.

Look, the days are coming when people will say, ‘Blessed are the barren women, the wombs that never bore, and breasts that never nursed!’
