2 Esdras 2:35 In-Context

33 I, Ezra, was on Mount Sinai when the Lord ordered me to go to the people of Israel. But when I went to them, they rejected me and refused to listen to what the Lord commanded.

34 That is why I am speaking to you Gentiles. You are ready to listen and understand: "Wait for your shepherd who is coming very soon, at the end of the age, to give you eternal rest.

35 Be ready to receive the blessings of the kingdom, for eternal light will shine on you forever.

36 Flee from the darkness of this present age and accept the joyful splendor prepared for you. I testify publicly for my savior.

37 The Lord has appointed him, so accept him and be happy. Give thanks to God, who has called you into his heavenly kingdom.
