10
The Lord said this to Ezra: Announce to my people that I have prepared a feast for them, and I will give them the kingdom of Jerusalem, which I was about to give to Israel.
11
I will take Israel's glory for them and give to them the eternal dwelling places I had prepared for Israel.
12
The tree of life will provide them with fragrant ointment, and they won't labor or grow tired.
13
Ask and you will receive; ask for yourselves just a few days so that your days may be shortened. Already my kingdom is prepared to come, so be watchful in spirit.
14
I call heaven and earth as witnesses: I have dismissed evil and created good, because I live, says the Lord.
