2 Esdras 2:17 In-Context

15 "Mother, embrace your sons; bring them up with gladness, as does the dove; establish their feet, because I have chosen you, says the Lord.

16 And I will raise up the dead from their places, and will bring them out from their tombs, because I recognize my name in them.

17 Do not fear, mother of sons, for I have chosen you, says the Lord.

18 I will send you help, my servants Isaiah and Jeremiah. According to their counsel I have consecrated and prepared for you twelve trees loaded with various fruits,

19 and the same number of springs flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains on which roses and lilies grow; by these I will fill your children with joy.
