2 Esdras 14:46

46 But keep the last seventy, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people;

2 Esdras 14:46 In-Context

44 In forty days they wrote two hundred and four books.

45 And it came to pass, when the forty days were fulfilled, that the Highest spoke, saying, "The first that thou hast written publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may read it.

46 But keep the last seventy, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people;

47 for in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge."

48 And I did so.
