2 Esdras 14:21 In-Context

19 I replied, "Let me speak in your presence, Lord.

20 I am ready to depart, as you have commanded, and I will warn the present generation; but who will warn the people who have not yet been born? This world is a dark place, and its people have no light.

21 Your Law has been destroyed by fire, so no one can know what you have done in the past or what you are planning to do in the future.

22 Please send your holy spirit to me, so that I can write down everything that has been done in this world from the beginning, everything that was written in your Law. Then in these last days, people will be able to find the right way and obtain life if they want to."

23 He answered, "Go and call the people together and tell them not to look for you for forty days.
