2 Esdras 9:23-25

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²³ ‘Now, if you will let seven days more pass—do not, however, fast during them, ²⁴ but go into a field of flowers where no house has been built, and eat only of the flowers of the field, and taste no meat and drink no wine, but eat only flowers— ²⁵ and pray to the Most High continually, then I will come and talk with you.’
