2 Esdras 8:24
King James VersionSource notes
“O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature.”
Context
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.
26O look not upon the sins of thy people; but on them which serve thee in truth.
27Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, but the desire of those that keep thy testimonies in afflictions.
