2 Esdras 10:39

39 because he has seen that you have lived a righteous life and have always grieved and mourned for your people and for Jerusalem.

2 Esdras 10:39 In-Context

37 I beg you, sir, tell me what this vision means."
38 The angel said, "Now listen closely, and I will explain the meaning of these things that you fear. God Most High has revealed many secrets to you
39 because he has seen that you have lived a righteous life and have always grieved and mourned for your people and for Jerusalem.
40 This is what the vision means: A woman appeared to you a little while ago,
41 and when you saw that she was mourning, you tried to console her.
