2 Esdras 7:9 Context
7The entrance thereof is narrow, and is set in a dangerous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the right hand, and on the left a deepe water. 8And one only path between them both, euen betweene the fire and the water, so small that there could but one man goe there at once. 9If this city now were giuen vnto a man for an inheritance, if he neuer shall passe the danger set before it, how shall he receiue this inheritance? 10And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he vnto me, Euen so also is Israels portion: 11Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam transgressed my Statutes, then was decreed that now is done.
