2 Esdras 8:49

49 because you have humbled yourself, as befits you, and didn't count yourself among the righteous so that you may be glorified the more.

2 Esdras 8:49 In-Context

47 You are a long way from loving my creation more than I do. But you have often associated yourself with the wicked. Never do so!

48 But even in this respect the Most High will admire you,

49 because you have humbled yourself, as befits you, and didn't count yourself among the righteous so that you may be glorified the more.

50 Many miseries will afflict those who inhabit the world in the last times because they will walk in great pride.

51 But think of yourself and ask about the glory of those like you.
