Ezra-Nehemiah (2 Esdras) 12:15

¹³And I went forth by the gate of the valley by night, and to the mouth of the well of fig trees, and to the Dung Gate: and I mourned over the wall of Jerusalem which they were destroying, and her gates were devoured with fire.

¹⁴And I passed on to the fountain gate, and to the king’s pool; and there was no room for the beast to pass under me.

— Ezra-Nehemiah (2 Esdras) 12:15 —

¹⁶And the sentinels knew not why I went, nor what I was doing; and until that time I told it not to the Jews, or to the priests, or to the nobles, or to the captains, or to the rest of the men who wrought the works.

¹⁷Then I said to them, Ye see this evil, in which we are, how Jerusalem is desolate, and her gates have been set on fire: come, and let us build throughout the wall of Jerusalem, and we shall be no longer a reproach.
