2 Esdras 7:100 In-Context

98 The seventh order, which is greater than all those mentioned—because they will rejoice with confidence and will trust without being disappointed and will rejoice without fear; for they hasten to see the face of him whom they served when they were alive and from whom they are about to receive a reward now that they are glorified.
99 "This is the order of the souls of the just, as is announced immediately, and those previously mentioned are the ways of torment that those who paid no heed will suffer."
100 I answered: "Will time, therefore, be given to souls after they are separated from the bodies to see what you told me?"
101 He said to me: "They will be free for seven days so that they may see in those seven days the things that have been foretold. After this, they will be gathered in their dwelling places."
102 I answered: "If you look on me with favor, show your servant further whether on the Judgment Day the just will be able to seek mercy for the wicked or intercede for them with the Most High.
