2 Esdras 9:14

14 I said,

2 Esdras 9:14 In-Context

12 The torment they will have to suffer after death will force them to recognize the truth.

13 Therefore, Ezra, you should stop asking questions about how the wicked will be punished. Instead, be concerned about how and when the righteous will be saved. The world was created for them and belongs to them."

14 I said,

15 "I must repeat what I said before. The lost far outnumber those who are saved - %0

16 it is like a wave compared with a drop of water."
