2 Esdras 6:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ before the heights of the air
were lifted up,
before the measures
of the firmament were named,
before Zion’s footstool was established,
⁵ before the present years
were reckoned,
before the imaginations of those
who now sin were alienated,
before those who stored up faith
as a treasure were sealed—
