2 Esdras 2:27

27 Give it your all! Strengthen them! Days of pressure and anguish will come; others will weep and be sad, but you will be happy and have plenty.

2 Esdras 2:27 In-Context

25 Good nurse, nourish your children. Strengthen those whom you bore and make their feet steady,

26 because none of those whom I have given you will perish. I will require them from your number.

27 Give it your all! Strengthen them! Days of pressure and anguish will come; others will weep and be sad, but you will be happy and have plenty.

28 All the nations will be jealous of you, but they won't be able to do anything against you, says the Lord.

29 All things tremble before me; my eyes see the pit of hell.
