2 Esdras 8:22
King James VersionSource notes
“Whose service is conversant in wind and fire; whose word is true, and sayings constant; whose commandment is strong, and ordinance fearful;”
Context
19Therefore hear my voice, and understand my words, and I shall speak before thee. This is the beginning of the words of Esdras, before he was taken up: and I said,
20O Lord, thou that dwellest in everlastingness which beholdest from above things in the heaven and in the air;
21Whose throne is inestimable; whose glory may not be comprehended; before whom the hosts of angels stand with trembling,
22Whose service is conversant in wind and fire; whose word is true, and sayings constant; whose commandment is strong, and ordinance fearful;
23Whose look drieth up the depths, and indignation maketh the mountains to melt away; which the truth witnesseth:
24O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature.
25For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have understanding I will answer.
