2 Esdras 9:38

38 And when I spoke these things in my heart, I looked back with mine eyes, and upon the right side I saw a woman; and behold, she mourned and wept with a loud voice, and was much grieved at heart, and her clothes were rent, and she had ashes upon her head.

2 Esdras 9:38 In-Context

36 For we who have received the law perish by sin, and our heart also which received it.

37 Notwithstanding, the law perisheth not, but remaineth in his force."

38 And when I spoke these things in my heart, I looked back with mine eyes, and upon the right side I saw a woman; and behold, she mourned and wept with a loud voice, and was much grieved at heart, and her clothes were rent, and she had ashes upon her head.

39 Then let I my thoughts go that were in me, and turned unto her

40 and said unto her "Why weepest thou? Why art thou so grieved in thy mind?"
