123 Or that a paradise shall be revealed, whose fruit remains unspoiled and in which are abundance and healing, but we shall not enter it

2 Esdras 7:123 In-Context

121 Or that safe and healthful habitations have been reserved for us, but we have lived wickedly?

122 Or that the glory of the Most High will defend those who have led a pure life, but we have walked in the most wicked ways?

123 Or that a paradise shall be revealed, whose fruit remains unspoiled and in which are abundance and healing, but we shall not enter it

124 because we have lived in perverse ways?[ah]

125 Or that the faces of those who practiced self-control shall shine more than the stars, but our faces shall be blacker than darkness?
