2 Esdras 7:55

55 Say to it: You create gold, silver, bronze, iron, and also lead and clay.

2 Esdras 7:55 In-Context

53 I said, "Lord, who would do such a thing?"

54 He said to me, "Not only this, but ask the earth and it will inform you; flatter it and it will tell you.

55 Say to it: You create gold, silver, bronze, iron, and also lead and clay.

56 But silver is more numerous than gold, and bronze than silver, and iron than bronze, lead than iron, and clay than lead.

57 Decide yourself then which things are precious and desirable, what is abundant or what is rare."
