2 Esdras 8:25

25 For as long as I live I will speak, and as long as I have understanding I will answer.

2 Esdras 8:25 In-Context

23 whose look dries up the depths and whose indignation makes the mountains melt away, and whose truth is established forever—

24 hear, O Lord, the prayer of your servant, and give ear to the petition of your creature; attend to my words.

25 For as long as I live I will speak, and as long as I have understanding I will answer.

26 O do not look on the sins of your people, but on those who serve you in truth.

27 Do not take note of the endeavors of those who act wickedly, but of the endeavors of those who have kept your covenants amid afflictions.
