2 Esdras 9:38-40 Common English Bible (CEB)

38. While I was saying these things in my heart, I looked with my eyes and saw a woman to my right. She was lamenting and crying with a loud voice, and she was experiencing deep grief. Her clothes were torn, and there were ashes on her head.

39. I dismissed my own thoughts, turned to her, and said,

40. "Why are you weeping, and why do you grieve so deeply?"
