  9. 2 Esdras 2:10-16

2 Esdras 2:10-16

  1. Thus saith the Lord unto Esdras, Tell my people that I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I would have given unto Israel.

  2. Their glory also will I take unto me, and give these the everlasting tabernacles, which I had prepared for them.

  3. They shall have the tree of life for an ointment of sweet savour; they shall neither labour, nor be weary.

  4. Go, and ye shall receive: pray for few days unto you, that they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you: watch.

  5. Take heaven and earth to witness; for I have broken the evil in pieces, and created the good: for I live, saith the Lord.

  6. Mother, embrace thy children, and bring them up with gladness, make their feet as fast as a pillar: for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.

  7. And those that be dead will I raise up again from their places, and bring them out of the graves: for I have known my name in Israel.
