2 Esdras 5:32

32 He said to me: "Listen to me, and I will instruct you; pay attention to me, and I will tell you more."

2 Esdras 5:32 In-Context

30 If you really hate your people, they should be punished with your own hands.

31 When I had said these words, the angel who had come to me on the previous night was sent to me.

32 He said to me: "Listen to me, and I will instruct you; pay attention to me, and I will tell you more."

33 I said, "Speak, my Lord." He said to me, "Are you really more deeply disturbed over Israel, or do you love him more than the one who made him does?"

34 I said: "No, Lord, but I spoke in grief. My heart torments me every hour while I try to make sense of the Most High's ways and investigate his decisions."
