2 Esdras 8:25

25 But me! I will speak as long as I live, and while I still have understanding, I will respond.

2 Esdras 8:25 In-Context

23 Your command is powerful, and your precept is fearsome. Your gaze dries up the deeps, and your threat makes mountains melt. Your truth is acknowledged.

24 Hear your servant's voice and listen to my request, the request of one whom you formed, and listen to my words.

25 But me! I will speak as long as I live, and while I still have understanding, I will respond.

26 Don't pay attention to your people's sins but to those who have served you in truth.

27 Don't consider those who do evil by sinning but those who have kept your covenants in the midst of torments.
