2 Esdras 10:49-59 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

49. So in the vision you saw how she mourned for her son, and you tried to console her for what had happened — this is what was to be revealed to you.

50. When God Most High saw that you were grieving for the woman with all your heart and soul, he showed you all her glory and majestic beauty.

51. That is why I told you to go and stay in the field where no one had ever lived,

52. for I knew that God Most High was going to show you these things.

53. I told you to go to the field where no foundation had ever been built,

54. because nothing built by man could stand in the place where the city of God Most High was about to be revealed.

55. “So don't be afraid. Go into the city and look at its beautiful and majestic buildings. See as much as you can.

56. After that, you will hear as much as you can.

57. You are more fortunate than most people, and only a few have the reputation with God Most High that you have.

58. Remain here until tomorrow night,

59. and he will show you in dreams and visions what he plans to do for those who will be living on the earth in the last days.” So I slept there that night and the next, as I had been told.
