2 Esdras 10:9 Context
7How that Sion our mother is full of all heauinesse, and much humbled, mourning very sore? 8And now seeing we all mourne, and are sad, for we are all in heauinesse, art thou grieued for one sonne? 9For aske the earth, and she shall tell thee, that it is she, which ought to mourne, for the fall of so many that grow vpon her. 10For out of her came all at the first, and out of her shal all others come: and behold they walke almost all into destruction, and a multitude of them is vtterly rooted out. 11Who then should make more mourning, then she that hath lost so great a multitude, and not thou which art sory but for one?
