2 Esdras 12:42

42 You are the only one of all our prophets who is left. You are like the last bunch of grapes in a vineyard, like a lantern in a dark place, like a safe harbor for a ship in a storm.

2 Esdras 12:42 In-Context

40 When the seven days had passed and all the people heard that I had not yet returned to the city, all of them, rich and poor, came and asked me,

41 "What wrong have we done to you? How have we mistreated you? Why have you abandoned us and settled down in this place?

42 You are the only one of all our prophets who is left. You are like the last bunch of grapes in a vineyard, like a lantern in a dark place, like a safe harbor for a ship in a storm.

43 Haven't we suffered enough already?

44 If you abandon us, it would have been better if we had died like the others in the fire that destroyed Jerusalem.
