2 Esdras 2:12-14

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹² The tree of life shall give them fragrant perfume, and they shall neither toil nor become weary. ¹³ Go,^[a] and you will receive; pray that your days may be few, that they may be shortened. The kingdom is already prepared for you; be on the watch! ¹⁴ Call, O call heaven and earth to witness: I set aside evil and created good; for I am the Living One, says the Lord.
