2 Esdras 6:37 In-Context

35 Now after this I wept again and fasted seven days as before, in order to complete the three weeks as I had been told.

36 And on the eighth night my heart was troubled within me again, and I began to speak in the presence of the Most High.

37 For my spirit was greatly aroused, and my soul was in distress.

38 I said, "O Lord, thou didst speak at the beginning of creation, and didst say on the first day, `Let heaven and earth be made,' and thy word accomplished the work.

39 And then the Spirit was hovering, and darkness and silence embraced everything; the sound of man's voice was not yet there.
