Context
33And now are ye here, and your brethren among you.
34Therefore if so be that ye will subdue your own understanding, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive and after death ye shall obtain mercy.

36Let no man therefore come unto me now, nor seek after me these forty days.
37So I took the five men, as he commanded me, and we went into the field, and remained there.
38And the next day, behold, a voice called me, saying, Esdras, open thy mouth, and drink that I give thee to drink.
39Then opened I my mouth, and, behold, he reached me a full cup, which was full as it were with water, but the colour of it was like fire.
