Common English Bible

¹⁰ you have commanded that from the members themselves; that is, from the breasts, milk (the fruit of the breasts) should be provided. ¹¹ By this means, that which is fashioned may be nourished for a time, and afterward you will dispose of this person in your mercy. ¹² You nourished him with your justice, tutored him in your Law, and reproved him in your wisdom.^[a]
