2 Esdras 12:50

50 So they left me and went back to the city.

2 Esdras 12:50 In-Context

48 And I haven't left you or abandoned you. I came here to pray for Jerusalem in her time of trouble and to ask mercy for her and for your Temple, now in disgrace.

49 Please return to your homes, all of you. I will come back to you in a few days."

50 So they left me and went back to the city.

51 I stayed in the field for seven days, as the angel had commanded me. I ate nothing but wild flowers; I was a vegetarian in those days.
