2 Esdras 10:18

18 She said to me, "I will not do so; I will not go into the city, but I will die here."

2 Esdras 10:18 In-Context

16 For if you acknowledge the decree of God to be just, you will receive your son back in due time, and will be praised among women.
17 Therefore go into the town to your husband."
18 She said to me, "I will not do so; I will not go into the city, but I will die here."
19 So I spoke again to her, and said,
20 "Do not do that, but let yourself be persuaded—for how many are the adversities of Zion?—and be consoled because of the sorrow of Jerusalem.
