2 Esdras 7:93-96 World English Bible (WEB)

93. The second order, because they see the perplexity in which the souls of the ungodly wander, and the punishment that awaits them.

94. The third order, they see the witness which he that fashioned them bears concerning them, that while they lived they kept the law which was given them in trust.

95. The fourth order, they understand the rest which, being gathered in their chambers, they now enjoy with great quietness, guarded by angels, and the glory that awaits them in the last days.

96. The fifth order, they rejoice, seeing how they have now escaped from that which is corruptible, and how they shall inherit that which is to come, while they see moreover the straitness and the painfulness from which they have been delivered, and the large room which they shall receive with joy and immortality.
