2 Esdras 2:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ I will take Israel’s glory for them and give to them the eternal dwelling places I had prepared for Israel. ¹² The tree of life will provide them with fragrant ointment, and they won’t labor or grow tired.

¹³ Ask and you will receive; ask for yourselves just a few days so that your days may be shortened. Already my kingdom is prepared to come, so be watchful in spirit.
