³¹ Yahweh saw that Leah was hated, and he opened her womb, but Rachel was barren.

³³ She conceived again, and bare a son, and said, "Because Yahweh has heard that I am hated, he has therefore given me this son also." She named him Simeon.

¹⁵ If a man have two wives, the one beloved, and the other hated, and they have borne him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers who was hated;

²⁴ One who spares the rod hates his son, But one who loves him is careful to discipline him.

³⁷ He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn't worthy of me.

²⁶ "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't hate his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple.

²⁵ He who loves his life will lose it. He who hates his life in this world will keep it to eternal life.
