2 Esdras 7:35 In-Context

33 The Most High shall be revealed on the seat of judgment, and compassion shall pass away, and patience shall be withdrawn.

34 Only judgment shall remain, truth shall stand, and faithfulness shall grow strong.

35 Recompense shall follow, and the reward shall be manifested; righteous deeds shall awake, and unrighteous deeds shall not sleep.

36 The pit[h] of torment shall appear, and opposite it shall be the place of rest; and the furnace of hell[i] shall be disclosed, and opposite it the paradise of delight.
