WORD Research this...2 Esdras 10
- 1 And it so came to pass, that when my son was entered into his wedding chamber, he fell down, and died.
- 2 Then we all overthrew the lights, and all my neighbours rose up to comfort me: so I took my rest unto the second day at night.
- 3 And it came to pass, when they had all left off to comfort me, to the end I might be quiet; then rose I up by night and fled, and came hither into this field, as thou seest.
- 4 And I do now purpose not to return into the city, but here to stay, and neither to eat nor drink, but continually to mourn and to fast until I die.
- 5 Then left I the meditations wherein I was, and spake to her in anger, saying,
- 6 Thou foolish woman above all other, seest thou not our mourning, and what happeneth unto us?
- 7 How that Sion our mother is full of all heaviness, and much humbled, mourning very sore?
- 8 And now, seeing we all mourn and are sad, for we are all in heaviness, art thou grieved for one son?
- 9 For ask the earth, and she shall tell thee, that it is she which ought to mourn for the fall of so many that grow upon her.
- 10 For out of her came all at the first, and out of her shall all others come, and, behold, they walk almost all into destruction, and a multitude of them is utterly rooted out.
- 11 Who then should make more mourning than she, that hath lost so great a multitude; and not thou, which art sorry but for one?
- 12 But if thou sayest unto me, My lamentation is not like the earth’s, because I have lost the fruit of my womb, which I brought forth with pains, and bare with sorrows;
- 13 But the earth not so: for the multitude present in it according to the course of the earth is gone, as it came:
- 14 Then say I unto thee, Like as thou hast brought forth with labour; even so the earth also hath given her fruit, namely, man, ever since the beginning unto him that made her.
- 15 Now therefore keep thy sorrow to thyself, and bear with a good courage that which hath befallen thee.
- 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.
- 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 counselled. by me: for how many are the adversities of Sion? be comforted in regard of the sorrow of Jerusalem.
- 21 For thou seest that our sanctuary is laid waste, our altar broken down, our temple destroyed;
- 22 Our psaltery is laid on the ground, our song is put to silence, our rejoicing is at an end, the light of our candlestick is put out, the ark of our covenant is spoiled, our holy things are defiled, and the name that is called upon us is almost profaned: our children are put to shame, our priests are burnt, our Levites are gone into captivity, our virgins are defiled, and our wives ravished; our righteous men carried away, our little ones destroyed, our young men are brought in bondage, and our strong men are become weak;
- 23 And, which is the greatest of all, the seal of Sion hath now lost her honour; for she is delivered into the hands of them that hate us.
- 24 And therefore shake off thy great heaviness, and put away the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be merciful unto thee again, and the Highest shall give thee rest and ease from thy labour.
- 25 And it came to pass while I was talking with her, behold, her face upon a sudden shined exceedingly, and her countenance glistered, so that I was afraid of her, and mused what it might be.
- 26 And, behold, suddenly she made a great cry very fearful: so that the earth shook at the noise of the woman.
- 27 And I looked, and, behold, the woman appeared unto me no more, but there was a city builded, and a large place shewed itself from the foundations: then was I afraid, and cried with a loud voice, and said,
- 28 Where is Uriel the angel, who came unto me at the first? for he hath caused me to fall into many trances, and mine end is turned into corruption, and my prayer to rebuke.
- 29 And as I was speaking these words behold, he came unto me, and looked upon me.
- 30 And, lo, I lay as one that had been dead, and mine understanding was taken from me: and he took me by the right hand, and comforted me, and set me upon my feet, and said unto me,
- 31 What aileth thee? and why art thou so disquieted? and why is thine understanding troubled, and the thoughts of thine heart?
- 32 And I said, Because thou hast forsaken me, and yet I did according to thy words, and I went into the field, and, lo, I have seen, and yet see, that I am not able to express.
- 33 And he said unto me, Stand up manfully, and I will advise thee.
- 34 Then said I, Speak on, my lord, in me; only forsake me not, lest I die frustrate of my hope.
- 35 For I have seen that I knew not, and hear that I do not know.
- 36 Or is my sense deceived, or my soul in a dream?
- 37 Now therefore I beseech thee that thou wilt shew thy servant of this vision.
- 38 He answered me then, and said, Hear me, and I shall inform thee, and tell thee wherefore thou art afraid: for the Highest will reveal many secret things unto thee.
- 39 He hath seen that thy way is right: for that thou sorrowest continually for thy people, and makest great lamentation for Sion.
- 40 This therefore is the meaning of the vision which thou lately sawest:
- 41 Thou sawest a woman mourning, and thou begannest to comfort her:
- 42 But now seest thou the likeness of the woman no more, but there appeared unto thee a city builded.
- 43 And whereas she told thee of the death of her son, this is the solution:
- 44 This woman, whom thou sawest is Sion: and whereas she said unto thee, even she whom thou seest as a city builded,
- 45 Whereas, I say, she said unto thee, that she hath been thirty years barren: those are the thirty years wherein there was no offering made in her.
- 46 But after thirty years Solomon builded the city and offered offerings: and then bare the barren a son.
- 47 And whereas she told thee that she nourished him with labour: that was the dwelling in Jerusalem.
- 48 But whereas she said unto thee, That my son coming into his marriage chamber happened to have a fail, and died: this was the destruction that came to Jerusalem.
- 49 And, behold, thou sawest her likeness, and because she mourned for her son, thou begannest to comfort her: and of these things which have chanced, these are to be opened unto thee.
- 50 For now the most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:
- 51 And therefore I bade thee remain in the field where no house was builded:
- 52 For I knew that the Highest would shew this unto thee.
- 53 Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, where no foundation of any building was.
- 54 For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to shew his city, there can no man’s building be able to stand.
- 55 And therefore fear not, let not thine heart be affrighted, but go thy way in, and see the beauty and greatness of the building, as much as thine eyes be able to see:
- 56 And then shalt thou hear as much as thine ears may comprehend.
- 57 For thou art blessed above many other, and art called with the Highest; and so are but few.
- 58 But to morrow at night thou shalt remain here;
- 59 And so shall the Highest shew thee visions of the high things, which the most High will do unto them that dwell upon the earth in the last days. So I slept that night and another, like as he commanded me.

King James Version (1769) with Strongs Numbers and Morphology and CatchWords, including Apocrypha (without glosses) (kjva - 3.1)
2023-07-19English (en)
This is the King James Version of the Holy Bible (also known as the Authorized Version) with embedded Strong's Numbers. The rights to the base text are held by the Crown of England.
The Strong's numbers in the OT were obtained from The Bible Foundation: http://www.bf.org. The NT Strong's data was obtained from The KJV2003 Project at CrossWire: http://www.crosswire.org. These mechanisms provide a useful means for looking up the exact original language word in a lexicon that is keyed to Strong's numbers.
Special thanks to the volunteers at Bible Foundation for keying the Hebrew/English data and of Project KJV2003 for working toward the completion of synchronizing the English phrases to the Stephanas Textus Receptus, and to Dr. Maurice Robinson for providing the base Greek text with Strong's and Morphology.
We are also appreciative of formatting markup that was provided by Michael Paul Johnson at http://www.ebible.org. Their time and generosity to contribute such for the free use of the Body of Christ is a great blessing and this derivitive work could not have been possible without these efforts of so many individuals.
Version 3.1 incorporates a more recent set of TR data from Dr. Maurice Robinson than was used in all the earlier versions. The TR data was obtained in 2016 from the Greek New Testament sources website
https://sites.google.com/a/wmail.fi/greeknt/home/greeknt
This was integrated into the OSIS source files of an intermediate version 2.9a hosted at
https://www.crosswire.org/~dmsmith/kjv2011/kjv2.9a/
It is in this spirit that we in turn offer the KJV2003 Project text freely for any purpose.
Any copyright that might be obtained for this effort is held by CrossWire Bible Society © 2003-2023 and CrossWire Bible Society hereby grants a general public license to use this text for any purpose.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
