43 She answered, "Sir, I was married for thirty years, but I was never able to have a child.

2 Esdras 9:43 In-Context

41 "Please, sir," she answered, "leave me alone and let me go on crying and mourning; I am bitter and depressed."

42 "Tell me what's wrong," I said.

43 She answered, "Sir, I was married for thirty years, but I was never able to have a child.

44 During those thirty years I prayed every day and every hour, day and night, to God Most High for a child.

45 After thirty years God answered my prayer; he saw my suffering, took away my distress, and gave me a son. What great joy this brought to my husband and me and to all our neighbors! We sang the praises of the Almighty.
