2 Esdras 13:22-24

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²² As for what you said about those who survive, and concerning those who do not survive,^[a] this is the interpretation: ²³ The one who brings the peril at that time will protect those who fall into peril, who have works and faith towards the Almighty. ²⁴ Understand therefore that those who are left are more blessed than those who have died.
