2 Esdras 2:13-17 World English Bible (WEB)

13. Ask, and you⌃ shall receive: pray for few days to you, that they may be shortened: the kingdom is already prepared for you: watch.

14. Take heaven and earth to witness, take them to witness; for I have given up the evil, and created the good: for I live, says the Lord.

15. Mother, embrace your children; I will bring them out with gladness like a dove; establish their feet; for I have chosen you, says the Lord.

16. And those that be dead will I raise up again from their places, and bring them out from their tombs: for I have known my name in them.

17. Fear not, you mother of the children: for I have chosen you, says the Lord.
