2 Esdras 14:45

45 And it came to pass, when the forty days were fulfilled, that the Highest spoke, saying, "The first that thou hast written publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may read it.

2 Esdras 14:45 In-Context

43 As for me, I spoke in the day, and I held not my tongue by night.
44 In forty days they wrote two hundred and four books.
45 And it came to pass, when the forty days were fulfilled, that the Highest spoke, saying, "The first that thou hast written publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may read it.
46 But keep the last seventy, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people;
47 for in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge."
