2 Esdras 9:23

23 "Now, if you will let seven days more pass—do not, however, fast during them,

2 Esdras 9:23 In-Context

21 And I saw and spared some with great difficulty, and saved for myself one grape out of a cluster, and one plant out of a great forest.

22 So let the multitude perish that has been born in vain, but let my grape and my plant be saved, because with much labor I have perfected them.

23 "Now, if you will let seven days more pass—do not, however, fast during them,

24 but go into a field of flowers where no house has been built, and eat only of the flowers of the field, and taste no meat and drink no wine, but eat only flowers—

25 and pray to the Most High continually, then I will come and talk with you."
