2 Esdras 10:34

34 I said, "Speak, my lord; only do not forsake me, so that I may not die before my time.

2 Esdras 10:34 In-Context

32 I said, "It was because you abandoned me. I did as you directed, and went out into the field, and lo, what I have seen and can still see, I am unable to explain."
33 He said to me, "Stand up like a man, and I will instruct you."
34 I said, "Speak, my lord; only do not forsake me, so that I may not die before my time.
35 For I have seen what I did not know, and I hear what I do not understand
36 —or is my mind deceived, and my soul dreaming?
