2 Esdras 14:22

2 Esdras 14:22 In-Context

20 "Behold, Lord, I will go, as Thou hast commanded me, and reprove the people who are present; but those who shall be born afterward, who shall admonish them? Thus the world is set in darkness, and those who dwell therein are without light.

21 For Thy law is burned; therefore no man knoweth the things that are done by Thee, or the works that shall begin.

22 But if I have found grace before Thee, send the Holy Spirit into me, and I shall write all that hath been done in the world since the beginning, which were written in Thy law, that men may find Thy path, and that those who will live in the latter days may live."Œ
