2 Esdras 12:50

50 So the people went into the city as I told them,

2 Esdras 12:50 In-Context

48 I haven't abandoned you, nor have I gone away from you. I came to this place to pray because of Zion's desolation, in order to seek mercy for the humiliation of your sanctuary.

49 Now go home, each of you, and I will come to you in a few days."

50 So the people went into the city as I told them,

51 but I sat in the field for seven days as he had commanded me, and I ate only the flowers that grew in the field, and plants were my food in those days.
