2 Esdras 6:59

59 If the world was created for our sake, why don't we possess our world as an inheritance? How long will this situation last?"

2 Esdras 6:59 In-Context

57 But look now, Lord! These nations that are valued as nothing rule over us and devour us,

58 while we, your people, whom you have called your oldest offspring, your one and only child, those who are zealous for you, your dearest ones, are handed over to them.

59 If the world was created for our sake, why don't we possess our world as an inheritance? How long will this situation last?"
