2 Esdras 10:6

6 "Most foolish of all women, don't you see our grief and what has befallen us?

2 Esdras 10:6 In-Context

4 Now I plan not to return to the city but to stay here, and I will neither eat nor drink but lament and fast without ceasing, until I die."

5 I abandoned the thoughts that had preoccupied me and responded to her in anger:

6 "Most foolish of all women, don't you see our grief and what has befallen us?

7 Zion the mother of us all is afflicted in sadness and utterly dejected. Grieve mightily

8 now because we all grieve, and be sorrowful because we are all sorrowful. But you are mourning only for one son!
