2 Esdras 7:37-46 World English Bible (WEB)

37. And then shall the Most High say to the nations that are raised from the dead, See you⌃ and understand whom you⌃ have denied, or whom you⌃ have not served, or whose commandments you⌃ have despised.

38. Look on this side and on that: here is delight and rest, and there fire and torments. Thus shall he speak to them in the day of judgement:

39. This is a day that has neither sun, nor moon, nor stars,

40. neither cloud, nor thunder, nor lightning, neither wind, nor water, nor air, neither darkness, nor evening, nor morning,

41. neither summer, nor spring, nor heat, nor winter, neither frost, nor cold, nor hail, nor rain, nor dew,

42. neither noon, nor night, nor dawn, neither shining, nor brightness, nor light, save only the splendor of the glory of the Most High, whereby all shall see the things that are set before them:

43. for it shall endure as it were a week of years.

44. This is my judgement and the ordinance thereof; but to you only have I showed these things.

45. And I answered, I said even then, O Lord, and I say now: blessed are they that be now alive and keep the statutes ordained of you.

46. But as touching them for whom my prayer was made, what shall I say? for who is there of them that be alive that has not sinned, and who of the sons of men that has not transgressed your covenant?
