2 Esdras 10:44
King James VersionSource notes
“This woman, whom thou sawest is Sion: and whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded,”
Context
41Thou sawest a woman mourning, and thou begannest to comfort her:
42But now seest thou the likeness of the woman no more, but there appeared unto thee a city builded.
43And whereas she told thee of the death of her son, this is the solution:
44This woman, whom thou sawest is Sion: and whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded,
45Whereas, I say, she said unto thee, that she hath been thirty years barren: those are the thirty years wherein there was no offering made in her.
46But after thirty years Solomon builded the city and offered offerings: and then bare the barren a son.
47And whereas she told thee that she nourished him with labour: that was the dwelling in Jerusalem.
