2 Esdras 5:24

24 and from all this world's lands you chose for yourself one region, and from all the world's flowers you chose for yourself one lily,

2 Esdras 5:24 In-Context

22 Then I recovered my wits and I began again to speak words before the Most High:

23 Supreme Lord, you chose one vine from every forest on earth and from all its trees,

24 and from all this world's lands you chose for yourself one region, and from all the world's flowers you chose for yourself one lily,

25 and from all the ocean's depths you filled for yourself one river, and from all cities that have been built you dedicated for yourself Zion,

26 and from all the created birds you named for yourself one dove, and from all the flocks that have been made you provided for yourself one sheep,
