2 Esdras 14 — Context

For yet greater evils than those which thou hast seen happen shall be done hereafter.

For look how much the world shall be weaker through age, so much the more shall evils increase upon them that dwell therein.

For the time is fled far away, and leasing is hard at hand: for now hasteth the vision to come, which thou hast seen.

Then answered I before thee, and said,

Behold, Lord, I will go, as thou hast commanded me, and reprove the people which are present: but they that shall be born afterward, who shall admonish them? thus the world is set in darkness, and they that dwell therein are without light.

For thy law is burnt, therefore no man knoweth the things that are done of thee, or the work that shall begin.

But if I have found grace before thee, send the Holy Ghost into me, and I shall write all that hath been done in the world since the beginning, which were written in thy law, that men may find thy path, and that they which will live in the latter days may live.
