2 Esdras 9:27
King James VersionSource notes
“After seven days I sat upon the grass, and my heart was vexed within me, like as before:”
Context
24But go into a field of flowers, where no house is builded, and eat only the flowers of the field; taste no flesh, drink no wine, but eat flowers only;)
25And pray unto the Highest continually, then will I come and talk with thee.
26So I went my way into the field which is called Ardath, like as he commanded me; and there I sat among the flowers, and did eat of the herbs of the field, and the meat of the same satisfied me.
27After seven days I sat upon the grass, and my heart was vexed within me, like as before:
28And I opened my mouth, and began to talk before the most High, and said,
29O Lord, thou that shewest thyself unto us, thou wast shewed unto our fathers in the wilderness, in a place where no man treadeth, in a barren place, when they came out of Egypt.
30And thou spakest saying, Hear me, O Israel; and mark my words, thou seed of Jacob.
