2 Esdras 9:43-45

Common English Bible

⁴³ She said to me: “I, your servant, was infertile, and I hadn’t given birth, although I had a husband for thirty years. ⁴⁴ Hour after hour and day after day during these thirty years I pleaded with the Most High by night and day. ⁴⁵ After thirty years God heard your servant and saw how dejected I was. He attended to my distress and gave me a son. I rejoiced greatly over him, as did my husband and all my fellow citizens, and we greatly honored the mighty one.
