jQuery get specific option tag text

Suppose I have a drop-down list like:

    Option A
    Option B
    Option C

Given the value '2' (i.e., using a specific value, not necessarily the selected one), what selector can I use to get "Option B"?

I tried $("#list[value='2']").text();, but it is not working.

It's looking for an element with id list which has a property value equal to 2.

What you want is the option child of the list:

$("#list option[value='2']").text()
