were worth their weight in gold –

Alas! – but now they are treated like broken clay pots,

made by a potter.

Zechariah 9:13

Galatians 4:26-27

4:26 But the Jerusalem above is free, and she is our mother. 4:27 For it is written:

“Rejoice, O barren woman who does not bear children;

break forth and shout, you who have no birth pains,

because the children of the desolate woman are more numerous

than those of the woman who has a husband.”
