2 Esdras 7:17 Context
15Now therefore why disquietest thou thy selfe, seeing thou art but a corruptible man? and why art thou mooued, whereas thou art but mortall? 16Why hast thou not considered in thy minde this thing that is to come, rather then that which is present? 17Then answered I, and sayd, O Lord, that bearest rule, thou hast ordained in thy Law, that the righteous should inherite these things, but that the vngodly should perish: 18Neuerthelesse, the righteous shal suffer strait things, and hope for wide: for they that haue done wickedly, haue suffered the strait things, and yet shall not see the wide. 19And he said vnto me, There is no iudge aboue God, and none that hath vnderstanding aboue the highest.
