2 Esdras 9:38 Context
36For we that haue receiued the law perish by sinne, and our heart also which receiued it. 37Notwithstanding the law perisheth not, but remaineth in his force. 38And when I spake these things in my heart, I looked backe with mine eyes, & vpon the right side I saw a woman, and behold, she mourned, & wept with a loud voyce, and was much grieued in heart, and her clothes were rent, and she had ashes vpon her head. 39Then let I my thoughts goe that I was in, and turned me vnto her, 40And said vnto her, Wherefore weepest thou? why art thou so grieued in thy minde?
