2 Esdras 2:17

17 Don't fear, mother of the children: I have chosen you, says the Lord.

2 Esdras 2:17 In-Context

15 Good mother, embrace your children. Give them joy, like a dove that brings up its children. Make their feet steady, for I have chosen you, says the Lord.

16 I will raise the dead from their places and from their tombs, for I have recognized that my name is in them.

17 Don't fear, mother of the children: I have chosen you, says the Lord.

18 I will send my servants Jeremiah, Isaiah, and Daniel to help you. It was on their advice that I have made you holy. I will prepare twelve trees with various kinds of fruit for you,

19 and seven springs full of milk and honey, and huge mountains bearing roses and lilies, which I have prepared for you and your children. I will fill your children with joy.
