2 Esdras 8:52-54
Revised Standard Version
52 because it is for you that paradise is opened, the tree of life is planted, the age to come is prepared, plenty is provided, a city is built, rest is appointed,[a] goodness is established and wisdom perfected beforehand. 53 The root of evil is sealed up from you, illness is banished from you, and death[b] is hidden; hell has fled and corruption has been forgotten;[c] 54 sorrows have passed away, and in the end the treasure of immortality is made manifest.
