2 Esdras 2:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ Good nurse, nourish your children. Strengthen those whom you bore and make their feet steady, ²⁶ because none of those whom I have given you will perish. I will require them from your number. ²⁷ Give it your all!^[a] Strengthen them! Days of pressure and anguish will come; others will weep and be sad, but you will be happy and have plenty.
