4Their young are strong; they grow up in the open field; then they go off and don't return to them."

15but she forgets that a foot might crush them or any wild animal might trample them.

16She mistreats her young as though they're not hers, and she has no fear that her labor may be in vain,

16She treats her young harshly, as if they were not her own, with no fear that her labor may have been in vain.
