2 Esdras 2:33-35

Common English Bible

³³ I, Ezra, received a command from the Lord on Mount Horeb for Israel, but they rejected this commandment. ³⁴ I say to you who hear and understand: Wait for your shepherd. I will give you your eternal rest, because the end of the age and the decline of humankind are near. ³⁵ Be prepared for the kingdom’s rewards, for everlasting light will shine on you, and eternity is prepared for you.
