2 Esdras 5:47-49

Common English Bible

⁴⁷ I said, “Surely it can’t, but only over time.”

⁴⁸ He said to me: “I also have given the earth’s womb for those who have been sown on it over time. ⁴⁹ As an infant doesn’t give birth and a woman who has become old doesn’t give birth any longer, so I have set in order the world I created.”
