2 Esdras 10:6

6 "You are the most foolish woman I ever met. Don't you see what our people are suffering? Don't you know all that has happened to us?

2 Esdras 10:6 In-Context

4 I have decided never to return to that town. I am going to stay here in constant mourning, neither eating nor drinking anything until I die."

5 When she told me this, I put aside my own thoughts and spoke sharply to her:

6 "You are the most foolish woman I ever met. Don't you see what our people are suffering? Don't you know all that has happened to us?

7 Jerusalem, the mother of us all, is overcome with grief and shame. You ought to be mourning for her

8 and sharing the grief and sorrow of all of us. But you are mourning for that one son of yours.
