2 Esdras 14:33

33 Now you are here, and your relatives live even farther away.

2 Esdras 14:33 In-Context

31 You were given land by allotment in the region of Zion. You and your fathers did evil and didn't keep the ways that the Most High had commanded you.
32 Since he is a just judge, in time he took away from you what he granted.
33 Now you are here, and your relatives live even farther away.
34 If then you will rule your mind and instruct your heart, you will be kept alive, and after death you will attain mercy.
35 Judgment comes after death, when we are restored to life, and then the names of the just will appear and the deeds of the wicked will be exposed.
