2 Esdras 10:24

24 And therefore shake off thy great heaviness, and put away the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be merciful unto thee again, and the Highest shall give thee rest and ease from thy labor."

2 Esdras 10:24 In-Context

22 our psaltery is laid on the ground, our song is put to silence, our rejoicing is at an end, the light of our candlestick is put out, the ark of our covenant is despoiled, our holy things are defiled, and the name by which we are called is almost profaned; our children are put to shame, our priests are burned, our Levites have gone into captivity, our virgins are defiled, and our wives ravished; our righteous men carried away, our little ones destroyed, our young men are brought in bondage, and our strong men have become weak;

23 and this is the greatest of all: the seal of Zion hath now lost her honor, for she is delivered into the hands of those who hate us.

24 And therefore shake off thy great heaviness, and put away the multitude of sorrows, that the Mighty may be merciful unto thee again, and the Highest shall give thee rest and ease from thy labor."

26 And behold, suddenly she made a great and very fearful cry, so that the earth shook at the noise of the woman.
