2 Esdras 10:1–4
“But it happened that when my son entered his wedding chamber, he fell down and died. 2 So all of us put out our lamps, and all my neighborsa attempted to console me; I remained quiet until the evening of the second day. 3 But when all of them had stopped consoling me, encouraging me to be quiet, I got up in the night and fled, and I came to this field, as you see. 4 And now I intend not to return to the town, but to stay here; I will neither eat nor drink, but will mourn and fast continually until I die.”
