49 that you have shown proper humility and not boasted by thinking of yourself as righteous.

2 Esdras 8:49 In-Context

47 You are certainly not able to love what I have created more than I do. Never again consider yourself among the unrighteous, as you have done so often.

48 Yet I am very pleased

49 that you have shown proper humility and not boasted by thinking of yourself as righteous.

50 The people of this world who have lived their lives in pride and arrogance will suffer many things in the last days.

51 But, Ezra, you should be thinking about the glory that is waiting for you and those like you.
