2 Esdras 8:25

25 As long as I have life and understanding, I cannot keep silent.

2 Esdras 8:25 In-Context

23 Your mighty commands accomplish fearful things. With one look, you dry up the deep oceans, and you can melt the mountains with your anger. Your truth lasts forever.

24 O Lord, you created me, and I am your servant, so listen to my prayer.

25 As long as I have life and understanding, I cannot keep silent.

26 "Do not take account of the sins of your people; rather, consider those who have served you faithfully.

27 Pay no attention to godless people and what they do, but take into account those who have kept your covenant in spite of all their sufferings.
