23 "Lord and Master," I said, "from all the forests and plants on earth you have chosen this one vine.

2 Esdras 5:23 In-Context

21 At the end of the seven days, I was again deeply troubled,

22 but I recovered my ability to think, and again I began to speak with God Most High.

23 "Lord and Master," I said, "from all the forests and plants on earth you have chosen this one vine.

24 From all the countries of the world, you have chosen this one small land. From all the flowers in the world, you have chosen this one lily.

25 From all the water in the deep oceans, you have filled up this one river. From all the cities that have ever been built, you have set apart this one city, Jerusalem, as your own.
