21 (A)Whenever a woman is in labor she has [a]pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a [b]child has been born into the world. 22 Therefore (B)you too have grief now; but (C)I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one will take your joy away from you.
