2 Esdras 13:24

24 You may be certain that those who survive are far more fortunate than those who die.

2 Esdras 13:24 In-Context

22 You have raised questions about those who will survive until the end. The answer is that
23 the one who brings the dangers in those days will also protect from danger the people who have stored up good works and faithfulness with God the Almighty One.
24 You may be certain that those who survive are far more fortunate than those who die.
25 "This is the meaning of the vision. The man you saw coming up out of the sea
26 represents the one whom God Most High has kept ready for many ages. He will free the world he created and establish the new order for those who survive.
