2 Esdras 8:25
King James VersionSource notes
“For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have understanding I will answer.”
Context
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.
28Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before thee: but remember them, which according to thy will have known thy fear.
