2 Esdras 5:37

37 open the rooms where the winds are locked up and make them blow for me; show me the picture of a sound. If you can do these things, I will answer your questions about the sufferings of the people of Israel."

2 Esdras 5:37 In-Context

35 "You cannot understand!" he answered. And I asked, "Why not, sir? In that case, why was I born? Why didn't I die before I was born? Then I wouldn't have seen the sufferings and troubles of the people of Israel."

36 The angel said to me, "I will answer you if you can do the following things: Tell me how many people are yet to be born; collect scattered raindrops for me; make dead flowers bloom again;

37 open the rooms where the winds are locked up and make them blow for me; show me the picture of a sound. If you can do these things, I will answer your questions about the sufferings of the people of Israel."

38 I answered, "Lord and master, no one can do these things, except God, who is not confined to this world.

39 How can I give you any kind of answer? What do I know?"
