38 And when I spoke these things in my heart, I looked about me with mine eyes, and upon the right side I saw a woman, and, behold, she mourned and wept with a loud voice, and was much grieved in mind, and her clothes were tore, and she had ashes upon her head.
39 Then let I my thoughts go wherein I was occupied, and turned me to her,
40 and said to her, Why do you weep? and why are you grieved in your mind?
41 And she said to me, Let me alone, my Lord, that I may bewail myself, and add to my sorrow, for I am sore vexed in my mind, and brought very low.
42 And I said to her, What aileth you? Tell me.
43 She said to me, I your servant was barren, and had no child, though I had a husband thirty years.
44 And every hour and every day these thirty years did I make my prayer to the Most High day and night.
