Mk 13:17a ... "And ~ Woe to the ones in belly having, ..."

Verse 13:17 has two phrases and 13 dialog words. The 1st phrase has these 6 dialog words, ... ouai de tais en gastri exousais ("Woe and to the ones in belly having ...")

The 6 dialog words are bottom up. This verse is a warning to pregnant women and nursing mothers to not be trapped inside Jerusalem during the coming Roman Jewish war. The circles of "woe" are tangent to the mouth of Jesus and to the heads and wombs of the two pregnant women. The last two words "gastri exousais" (belly having) are tangent to the bellies of the two pregnant women.
