וַתֹּאמַרְנָה הַנָּשִׁים אֶֽל-נָעֳמִי בָּרוּךְ יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא הִשְׁבִּית לָךְ גֹּאֵל הַיּוֹם וְיִקָּרֵא שְׁמוֹ בְּיִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃

They that were full have hired out themselves for bread; and they that were hungry ceased: so that the barren hath born seven; and she that hath many children is waxed feeble.

Ruth 1:11

וַתֹּאמֶר נָֽעֳמִי שֹׁבְנָה בְנֹתַי לָמָּה תֵלַכְנָה עִמִּי הַעֽוֹד-לִי בָנִים בְּֽמֵעַי וְהָיוּ לָכֶם לַֽאֲנָשִֽׁים׃

ἡ δὲ ὄντως χήρα καὶ μεμονωμένη ἤλπικεν ἐπὶ τόν θεὸν καὶ προσμένει ταῖς δεήσεσιν καὶ ταῖς προσευχαῖς νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας

Now she that is a widow indeed, and desolate, trusteth in God, and continueth in supplications and prayers night and day.

Isaiah 49:21

וְאָמַרְתְּ בִּלְבָבֵךְ מִי יָֽלַד-לִי אֶת-אֵלֶּה וַאֲנִי שְׁכוּלָה וְגַלְמוּדָה גֹּלָה׀ וְסוּרָה וְאֵלֶּה מִי גִדֵּל הֵן אֲנִי נִשְׁאַרְתִּי לְבַדִּי אֵלֶּה אֵיפֹה הֵֽם׃

Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where had they been?

2 Samuel 13:20

וַיֹּאמֶר אֵלֶיהָ אַבְשָׁלוֹם אָחִיהָ הַֽאֲמִינוֹן אָחִיךְ הָיָה עִמָּךְ וְעַתָּה אֲחוֹתִי הַֽחֲרִישִׁי אָחִיךְ הוּא אַל-תָּשִׁיתִי אֶת-לִבֵּךְ לַדָּבָר הַזֶּה וַתֵּשֶׁב תָּמָר וְשֹׁמֵמָה בֵּית אַבְשָׁלוֹם אָחִֽיהָ׃

And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house.
