17 But woe to those who are pregnant and to those who are nursing babies in those days!
17 But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!
17 "How terrible it will be for women who are pregnant or who are nursing babies in those days!

20 And if the Lord did not shorten those days, none could escape: but for the sake of the elect, whom He hath chosen, He hath shortened those days.
20 Unless the Lord had shortened those days, no (i)life would have been saved; but for the sake of the (j)elect, whom He chose, He shortened the days.
20 And except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect's sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.
20 Unless the Lord(AP) limited those days,(AQ) no one would survive.(i) But He limited those days because of the elect,(AR) whom He chose.(AS)
