2 Esdras 12:39
King James VersionSource notes
“But wait thou here thyself yet seven days more, that it may be shewed thee, whatsoever it pleaseth the Highest to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way.”
Context
36Thou only hast been meet to know this secret of the Highest.
37Therefore write all these things that thou hast seen in a book, and hide them:
38And teach them to the wise of the people, whose hearts thou knowest may comprehend and keep these secrets.
39But wait thou here thyself yet seven days more, that it may be shewed thee, whatsoever it pleaseth the Highest to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way.
40And it came to pass, when all the people saw that the seven days were past, and I not come again into the city, they gathered them all together, from the least unto the greatest, and came unto me, and said,
41What have we offended thee? and what evil have we done against thee, that thou forsakest us, and sittest here in this place?
42For of all the prophets thou only art left us, as a cluster of the vintage, and as a candle in a dark place, and as a haven or ship preserved from the tempest.
