2 Esdras 7:6

6 There is also another thing: A city is built and set upon a broad field, and is full of all good things.

2 Esdras 7:6 In-Context

4 but suppose the entrance were narrow and like a river.

5 Who then could go into the sea to look upon it and to rule it? If he went not through the narrow, how could he come into the broad?

6 There is also another thing: A city is built and set upon a broad field, and is full of all good things.

7 The entrance thereof is narrow and is set in a dangerous place to fall, as if there were a fire on the right hand and on the left a deep water,

8 and only one path between them both, even between the fire and the water, so small that there could but one man go there at once.
