2 Esdras 9:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ But let seven more days pass. Don’t fast during this time, ²⁴ but go into a field of flowers, where no house is built, and eat only of the flowers of the field. Don’t taste meat, and don’t drink wine, but eat only flowers. ²⁵ Pray to the Most High without pause, and I will come and talk to you.”
