2 Esdras 10:47

47 As for what she said to you, that she nourished him with labor, this was the time that Jerusalem was inhabited.

2 Esdras 10:47 In-Context

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.

46 After three thousand years, Solomon built the city and made offerings. That is when the infertile woman bore a son.

47 As for what she said to you, that she nourished him with labor, this was the time that Jerusalem was inhabited.

48 And as for what she said to you, that her son came into his wedding chamber and died and that misfortune happened to her, this is the destruction that happened to Jerusalem.

49 Indeed, you saw her likeness, how she mourns her son, and you began to console her over these things that had happened. (These things were to be shown to you.)
