2 Esdras 8:26 In-Context

24 O Lord, you created me, and I am your servant, so listen to my prayer.
25 As long as I have life and understanding, I cannot keep silent.
26 "Do not take account of the sins of your people; rather, consider those who have served you faithfully.
27 Pay no attention to godless people and what they do, but take into account those who have kept your covenant in spite of all their sufferings.
28 Do not think about those who have lived wicked lives, but remember those who have gladly confessed you as God.
