Context
39Then let I my thoughts go that I was in, and turned me unto her,
40And said unto her, Wherefore weepest thou? why art thou so grieved in thy mind?
41And she said unto me, Sir, let me alone, that I may bewail myself, and add unto my sorrow, for I am sore vexed in my mind, and brought very low.
42And I said unto her, What aileth thee? tell me.
43She said unto me, I thy servant have been barren, and had no child, though I had an husband thirty years,
44And those thirty years I did nothing else day and night, and every hour, but make my, prayer to the Highest.
45After thirty years God heard me thine handmaid, looked upon my misery, considered my trouble, and gave me a son: and I was very glad of him, so was my husband also, and all my neighbours: and we gave great honour unto the Almighty.
