2 Esdras 12:32-34

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³² this is the Messiah^[a] whom the Most High has kept until the end of days, who will arise from the offspring of David, and will come and speak^[b] with them. He will denounce them for their ungodliness and for their wickedness, and will display before them their contemptuous dealings. ³³ For first he will bring them alive before his judgement seat, and when he has reproved them, then he will destroy them. ³⁴ But in mercy he will set free the remnant of my people, those who have been saved throughout my borders, and he will make them joyful until the end comes, the day of judgement, of which I spoke to you at the beginning.
