2 Esdras 8:50 In-Context

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.

52 For all of you, Paradise has been opened, the tree of life has been planted, the world to come has been made ready, all your needs have been provided, the heavenly city has been built, full rest from your labors has been offered, goodness and wisdom have been perfected.
