2 Esdras 14:14

14 Put earthly cares away from you, throw down your human burdens, and lay aside your weak human nature.

2 Esdras 14:14 In-Context

12 and it is half over; only two and a half parts remain.

13 So set your house in order, warn your people, comfort those who are humble, and teach those who are wise. Then say good-bye to this mortal life.

14 Put earthly cares away from you, throw down your human burdens, and lay aside your weak human nature.

15 Put all your anxieties aside, and get ready to leave this world quickly.

16 You have seen many evil things already, but far worse things are about to happen.
