2 Esdras 5:38 In-Context

36 He said to me: "Count for me those who haven't yet been born, gather for me the scattered raindrops, make the withered flowers bloom again for me,

37 open for me the closed warehouses and bring forth for me the winds shut up in them, or show me what a voice looks like. Then I will show you what you ask to see."

38 I said: "Supreme Lord, who can know these things except one who doesn't live among human beings?

39 But I'm ignorant. How can I speak of these things that you asked me about?"

40 He said to me: "As you can't do one of these things that were mentioned, so you can't comprehend my judgment or the goal of the love I have promised to my people."
