36 "The lake of torment will appear, and across from it will be the place of rest. Hell's furnace will be displayed and across from it the delightful paradise.

2 Esdras 7:36 In-Context

34 and only judgment will remain. Truth will arise, faith will recover strength,

35 and works will have their consequences. Reward will come about, righteous deeds will awake, and unrighteous deeds won't sleep.

36 "The lake of torment will appear, and across from it will be the place of rest. Hell's furnace will be displayed and across from it the delightful paradise.

37 Then the Most High will speak to the nations that have been raised: ‘Look and understand whom it is you have denied, whom you haven't served, and whose ordinances you have despised.

38 Look to one side and the other: Here is delight and rest, and over there are fire and torments.' He will say these things to them on the Judgment Day,
