2 Esdras 10:8-10
Revised Standard Version
8 It is most appropriate to mourn now, because we are all mourning, and to be sorrowful, because we are all sorrowing; you are sorrowing for one son, but we, the whole world, for our mother.[a] 9 Now ask the earth, and she will tell you that it is she who ought to mourn over so many who have come into being upon her. 10 And from the beginning all have been born of her, and others will come; and behold, almost all go to perdition, and a multitude of them are destined for destruction.
