2 Esdras 1:33-40 World English Bible (WEB)

33. Thus says the Lord Almighty, Your house is desolate, I will cast you out as the wind does stubble.

34. And your children shall not be fruitful; for they have neglected my commandment to you, and done that which is evil before me.

35. Your houses will I give to a people that shall come; which not having heard of me yet believe me; they to whom I have showed no signs shall do that which I have commanded.

36. They have seen no prophets, yet they shall call their former estate to remembrance.

37. I take to witness the grace of the people that shall come, whose little ones rejoice with gladness: and though they see me not with bodily eyes, yet in spirit they shall believe the thing that I say.

38. And now, O father, behold with glory; and see the people that come from the east:

39. to whom I will give for leaders, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, Oseas, Amos, and Micheas, Joel, Abdias, and Jonas,

40. Nahum, and Abacuc, Sophonias, Aggaeus, Zachary, and Malachy, which is called also the angel of the Lord.
