2 Esdras 2:26 In-Context

24 "Be calm, my people; your time to rest will come.

25 Take care of your children like a faithful nursemaid and guide their steps in safe paths,

26 so that none of them will be lost. When the time comes, I will hold you responsible for them.

27 Don't worry; when the day of trouble and distress comes, others will cry and mourn, but you will be happy and rich.

28 The other nations will be jealous of you, but they will not be able to harm you.
