2 Esdras 13:43-54 World English Bible (WEB)

43. And they entered by the narrow passages of the river Euphrates.

44. For the Most High then wrought signs for them, and stayed the springs of the River, till they were passed over.

45. For through that country there was a great way to go, namely, of a year and a half: and the same region is called Arzareth.

46. Then lived they there until the latter time; and now when they begin to come again,

47. the Most High stays the springs of the River again, that they may go through: therefore saw you the multitude gathered together with peace.

48. But those that be left behind of your people are they that are found within my holy border.

49. It shall be therefore when he shall destroy the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, he shall defend the people that remain.

50. And then shall he show them very many wonders.

51. Then said I, O Lord that bear rule, show me this: wherefore I have seen the man coming up from the midst of the sea.

52. And he said to me, like as one can neither seek out nor know what is in the deep of the sea, even so can no man upon earth see my Son, or those that be with him, but in the time of his day.

53. This is the interpretation of the dream which you saw, and for this you only are enlightened herein.

54. For you have forsaken your own ways, and applied your diligence to mine, and have sought out my law.
