Create a digital illustration of the biblical text Mark 13:17 - 'But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!'. The scene should take place in the ancient times, showing women in hardship, one pregnant and the other one nursing her child in a setting that conveys a sense of impending disaster or struggle. Maintain a balance between realism and expressiveness in the rendering of the figures and the environment, capturing the essence of the biblical story.
