2 Esdras 9:45-47

Common English Bible

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. ⁴⁶ I nourished my son with much labor, ⁴⁷ and when he grew up, I came to take a wife for him and set the day of the marriage feast.
