2 Esdras 8:23

23 whose look dries up the depths and whose indignation makes the mountains melt away, and whose truth is established forever—

2 Esdras 8:23 In-Context

21 whose throne is beyond measure and whose glory is beyond comprehension, before whom the hosts of angels stand trembling

22 and at whose command they are changed to wind and fire, whose word is sure and whose utterances are certain, whose command is strong and whose ordinance is terrible,

23 whose look dries up the depths and whose indignation makes the mountains melt away, and whose truth is established forever—

24 hear, O Lord, the prayer of your servant, and give ear to the petition of your creature; attend to my words.

25 For as long as I live I will speak, and as long as I have understanding I will answer.
