2 Esdras 4:43

Listen to 2 Esdras 4:43

2 Esdras 4:43 In-Context

41 And I said, "No, lord, it cannot." And he said to me, "In Hades the chambers of the souls are like the womb.
42 For just as a woman who is in travail makes haste to escape the pangs of birth, so also do these places hasten to give back those things that were committed to them from the beginning.
43 Then the things that you desire to see will be disclosed to you."
44 I answered and said, "If I have found favor in your sight, and if it is possible, and if I am worthy,
45 show me this also: whether more time is to come than has passed, or whether for us the greater part has gone by.
