The King James Version Bible

2 Esdras 10:42-47

  1. But now seest thou the likeness of the woman no more, but there appeared unto thee a city builded.

  2. And whereas she told thee of the death of her son, this is the solution:

  3. This woman, whom thou sawest is Sion: and whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded,

  4. Whereas, 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.

  5. But after thirty years Solomon builded the city and offered offerings: and then bare the barren a son.

  6. And whereas she told thee that she nourished him with labour: that was the dwelling in Jerusalem.
