2 Esdras 3:3-5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
3 My spirit was greatly agitated, and I began to speak anxious words to the Most High, and said, 4 ‘O sovereign Lord, did you not speak at the beginning when you planted[a] the earth—and that without help—and commanded the dust[b] 5 and it gave you Adam, a lifeless body? Yet he was the creation of your hands, and you breathed into him the breath of life, and he was made alive in your presence.
