2 Esdras 10:31-33

Revised Standard Version

³¹ “What is the matter with you? And why are you troubled? And why are your understanding and the thoughts of your mind troubled?”

³² I said, “Because you have forsaken me! I did as you directed, and went out into the field, and behold, I saw, and still see, what I am unable to explain.”

³³ He said to me, “Stand up like a man, and I will instruct you.”
