33
For he shall set them before him alive in judgment, and shall rebuke them, and correct them.
34
For the rest of my people shall he deliver with mercy, those that have been pressed upon my
borders, and he shall make them joyful until the coming of the day of judgment, whereof I have
spoken unto thee from the the beginning.
35
This is the dream that thou sawest, and these are the interpretations.
36
Thou only hast been meet to know this secret of the Highest.
37
Therefore write all these things that thou hast seen in a book, and hide them:
38
And teach them to the wise of the people, whose hearts thou knowest may comprehend and
keep these secrets.
39
But wait thou here thyself yet seven days more, that it may be shewed thee, whatsoever it
pleaseth the Highest to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way.

And it came to pass, when all the people saw that the seven days were past, and I not come
again into the city, they gathered them all together, from the least unto the greatest, and came unto

41
What have we offended thee? and what evil have we done against thee, that thou forsakest

42

place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and that I might seek mercy for the low estate of your
sanctuary.

those days of the flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs
CHAPTER ESDRAS 13
