2 Esdras 6:29-34

Common English Bible

²⁹ While he was still speaking with me, the place on which I stood was shaken,^[a] little by little. ³⁰ He said to me: “I came to show you these things this night.^{[b] 31} If you ask further and fast again for seven days, I will again declare daily^[c] to you greater things than these, ³² because the Most High has listened to your voice. The mighty one has seen your virtue and perceived the humility you have had from your youth. ³³ Because of this he sent me to show you all these things and to say to you: Trust confidently, and don’t be afraid. ³⁴ Don’t be hasty to think empty thoughts about the former times, lest you be hasty about the last times.”
