Bible Quotes About Infertility
17 Scripture verses about infertility from the King James Version, with full verse text for study and meditation.
Scripture reveals that God blesses His people with fruitfulness, commanding them to be fruitful and multiply as seen in Genesis 1:28, yet He also sovereignly allows barrenness, as in the case of Rebekah, whom God enabled to conceive after Isaac's prayer (Genesis 25:21). The Old Testament promises blessing that includes the absence of barrenness among the people and their livestock (Deuteronomy 7:14; Exodus 23:26), highlighting God's provision and care. While infertility can be a trial, the Lord uses it to humble and test the heart, refining faith and obedience (Deuteronomy 8:2). Ultimately, God is able to make the barren woman a joyful mother, demonstrating His power to bless and fulfill His promises (Psalms 113:9).
