2 Esdras 12:7 In-Context

5 I am mentally exhausted and completely worn out. The terrible fears I have experienced this night have taken my last bit of strength.
6 All I can do now is pray to God Most High to give me strength until the end."
7 Then I prayed, "Master and Lord, if it is true that you consider me more righteous than many others and if you hear my prayers, then I beg you,
8 give me strength. Show me, O Lord, the full meaning of this terrifying vision, and set my mind at ease.
9 After all, you did consider me worthy to be shown the end of this age."
