2 Esdras 5:40-42
Common English Bible
40 He said to me: “As you can’t do one of these things that were mentioned, so you can’t comprehend my judgment or the goal[a] of the love I have promised to my people.”
41 I said: “Look, Lord, you’ve made promises concerning these who are alive at the end, but what will those who are before us do, or we, or those who come after us?”
42 He said to me, “I will compare my judgment to a crown.[b] Just as there is no delay for those who come last, so there is no rushing for those who come before.”
