2 Esdras 10:41-45 Common English Bible (CEB)

41. whom you saw mourning and whom you began to console

42. (though now you don’t see a woman, but a fully constructed city has appeared to you),

43. and who told you about the fate of her son.

44. This woman whom you saw is Zion, whom you now see built as a city.

45. As for what she said to you, that she was infertile for thirty years, it is because there were three thousand years in the world when offerings weren’t yet made in her.
