2 Esdras 7:58-60
Revised Standard Version
58 I said, “O sovereign Lord, what is plentiful is of less worth, for what is more rare is more precious.”
59 He answered me and said, “Weigh within yourself[a] what you have thought, for he who has what is hard to get rejoices more than he who has what is plentiful. 60 So also will be the judgment[b] which I have promised; for I will rejoice over the few who shall be saved, because it is they who have made my glory to prevail now, and through them my name has now been honored.
