2 Esdras 13:50-58 World English Bible (WEB)

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.

55. Your life have you ordered in wisdom, and have called understanding your mother.

56. And therefore have I showed you this; for there is a reward laid up with the Most High: and it shall be, after other three days I will speak other things to you, and declare to you mighty and wondrous things.

57. Then went I forth and passed into the field, giving praise and thanks greatly to the Most High because of his wonders, which he did from time to time;

58. and because he governs the time, and such things as fall in their seasons. And there I sat three days.
