2 Esdras 13:22

22 As for what you said about those who survive, and concerning those who do not survive, this is the interpretation:

2 Esdras 13:22 In-Context

20 Yet it is better to come into these things, though incurring peril, than to pass from the world like a cloud, and not to see what will happen in the last days." He answered me and said,

21 "I will tell you the interpretation of the vision, and I will also explain to you the things that you have mentioned.

22 As for what you said about those who survive, and concerning those who do not survive, this is the interpretation:

23 The one who brings the peril at that time will protect those who fall into peril, who have works and faith toward the Almighty.

24 Understand therefore that those who are left are more blessed than those who have died.
