2 Esdras 8:52
King James VersionSource notes
“For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom.”
Context
49In that thou hast humbled thyself, as it becometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy to be much glorified among the righteous.
50For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride.
51But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee.
52For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom.
53The root of evil is sealed up from you, weakness and the moth is hid from you, and corruption is fled into hell to be forgotten:
54Sorrows are passed, and in the end is shewed the treasure of immortality.
55And therefore ask thou no more questions concerning the multitude of them that perish.
