2 Esdras 10:18

18 And she said unto me, "That will I not do; I will not go into the city, but here will I die."

2 Esdras 10:18 In-Context

16 For if thou shalt acknowledge the determination of God to be just, thou shalt both receive thy son in time, and shalt be commended among women.Œ

17 Go thy way then into the city to thine husband."

18 And she said unto me, "That will I not do; I will not go into the city, but here will I die."

19 So I proceeded to speak further unto her and said,

20 "Do not so, but be counseled by me; for how many are the adversities of Zion? Be comforted because of the sorrow of Jerusalem.
