17 Fear not, thou mother of the children, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.

2 Esdras 2:17 In-Context

15 "Mother, embrace thy children, and bring them up with gladness. Make their feet as firm as a pillar; for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.

16 And those that be dead will I raise up again from their places, and bring them out of the graves; for I have known My name in Israel.

17 Fear not, thou mother of the children, for I have chosen thee, saith the Lord.

18 For thy help will I send My servants Isaiah and Jeremiah, after whose counsel I have sanctified and prepared for thee twelve trees laden with divers fruits,

19 and as many fountains flowing with milk and honey, and seven mighty mountains whereupon there grow roses and lilies, whereby I will fill thy children with joy.
