2 Esdras 10:34

34 I said, "Speak, my lord; only do not forsake me, lest I die before my time.

2 Esdras 10:34 In-Context

32 I said, "Because you have forsaken me! I did as you directed, and went out into the field, and behold, I saw, and still see, what I am unable to explain."
33 He said to me, "Stand up like a man, and I will instruct you."
34 I said, "Speak, my lord; only do not forsake me, lest I die before my time.
35 For I have seen what I did not know, and I have heard what I do not understand.
36 Or is my mind deceived, and my soul dreaming?
