2 Esdras 3:2
King James VersionSource notes
“For I saw the desolation of Sion, and the wealth of them that dwelt at Babylon.”
Context
1In the thirtieth year after the ruin of the city I was in Babylon, and lay troubled upon my bed, and my thoughts came up over my heart:
2For I saw the desolation of Sion, and the wealth of them that dwelt at Babylon.
3And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak words full of fear to the most High, and said,
4O Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakest at the beginning, when thou didst plant the earth, and that thyself alone, and commandedst the people,
5And gavest a body unto Adam without soul, which was the workmanship of thine hands, and didst breathe into him the breath of life, and he was made living before thee.
