2 Esdras 5:24
King James VersionSource notes
“And of all lands of the whole world thou hast chosen thee one pit: and of all the flowers thereof one lily:”
Context
21And after seven days so it was, that the thoughts of my heart were very grievous unto me again,
22And my soul recovered the spirit of understanding, and I began to talk with the most High again,
23And said, O Lord that bearest rule, of every wood of the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou hast chosen thee one only vine:
24And of all lands of the whole world thou hast chosen thee one pit: and of all the flowers thereof one lily:
25And of all the depths of the sea thou hast filled thee one river: and of all builded cities thou hast hallowed Sion unto thyself:
26And of all the fowls that are created thou hast named thee one dove: and of all the cattle that are made thou hast provided thee one sheep:
27And among all the multitudes of people thou hast gotten thee one people: and unto this people, whom thou lovedst, thou gavest a law that is approved of all.
