2 Esdras 7:78

78 Now concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone out from the Most High that a person shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High.

2 Esdras 7:78 In-Context

76 He answered me and said, “I will show you that also, but do not include yourself with those who have shown scorn, or number yourself among those who are tormented.

77 For you have a treasure of works stored up with the Most High, but it will not be shown to you until the last times.

78 Now concerning death, the teaching is: When the decisive decree has gone out from the Most High that a person shall die, as the spirit leaves the body to return again to him who gave it, first of all it adores the glory of the Most High.

79 If it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, who have despised his law and hated those who fear God—

80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, always grieving and sad, in seven ways.
