2 Esdras 3:14-16

Revised Standard Version

¹⁴ and thou didst love him, and to him only didst thou reveal the end of the times, secretly by night. ¹⁵ Thou didst make with him an everlasting covenant, and promise him that thou wouldst never forsake his descendants; and thou gavest to him Isaac, and to Isaac thou gavest Jacob and Esau. ¹⁶ And thou didst set apart Jacob for thyself, but Esau thou didst reject; and Jacob became a great multitude.
