2 Esdras 8:39

39 but I will rejoice over the creation of the righteous, over their pilgrimage also, and their salvation, and their receiving their reward.

2 Esdras 8:39 In-Context

37 He answered me and said, "Some things you have spoken rightly, and it will turn out according to your words.

38 For indeed I will not concern myself about the fashioning of those who have sinned, or about their death, their judgment, or their destruction;

39 but I will rejoice over the creation of the righteous, over their pilgrimage also, and their salvation, and their receiving their reward.

40 As I have spoken, therefore, so it shall be.

41 "For just as the farmer sows many seeds in the ground and plants a multitude of seedlings, and yet not all that have been sown will come up in due season, and not all that were planted will take root; so also those who have been sown in the world will not all be saved."
