54 And he said to me, “Not only that, but ask the earth and she will tell you; defer to her, and she will declare it to you.

2 Esdras 7:54 In-Context

52 “If you have just a few precious stones, will you add to them lead and clay?”[o]

53 I said, “Lord, how could that be?”

54 And he said to me, “Not only that, but ask the earth and she will tell you; defer to her, and she will declare it to you.

55 Say to her, ‘You produce gold and silver and bronze, and also iron and lead and clay;

56 but silver is more abundant than gold, and bronze than silver, and iron than bronze, and lead than iron, and clay than lead.’
