2 Esdras 9:20-22
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
20 So I considered my world, and saw that it was lost. I saw that my earth was in peril because of the devices of those who[a] had come into it. 21 And I saw and spared some[b] with great difficulty, and saved for myself one grape out of a cluster, and one plant out of a great forest.[c] 22 So let the multitude perish that has been born in vain, but let my grape and my plant be saved, because with much labour I have perfected them.
