23 But let seven more days pass. Don't fast during this time,

2 Esdras 9:23 In-Context

21 I saw and spared them with great difficulty; I saved for myself one grape out of a cluster and one plant out of a great forest.

22 Therefore, let the multitude that was born without purpose perish, and let my grape and my plant be preserved, because I perfected these with much effort.

23 But let seven more days pass. Don't fast during this time,

24 but go into a field of flowers, where no house is built, and eat only of the flowers of the field. Don't taste meat, and don't drink wine, but eat only flowers.

25 Pray to the Most High without pause, and I will come and talk to you."
