2 Esdras 14:20 Context
18For the trueth is fled farre away, and leasing is hard at hand: For now hasteth the vision to come, which thou hast seene. 19Then answered I before thee, and said, 20Behold, Lord, I will go as thou hast commanded me, and reprooue the people which are present, but they that shall be borne afterward, who shall admonish them? thus the world is set in darkenes, and they that dwell therein, are without light. 21For thy law is burnt, therefore no man knoweth the things that are done of thee, or the works that shal begin. 22But if I haue found grace before thee, send the holy Ghost into me, and I shall write all that hath bene done in the world, since the beginning, which were written in thy Lawe, that men may find thy path, and that they which will liue in the latter dayes, may liue.
