2 Esdras 4:27

27 and cannot comprehend the things that are promised to the righteous in time to come; for this world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities.

2 Esdras 4:27 In-Context

25 What will He then do unto His name whereby we are called? Of these things have I asked."

26 Then answered he me and said, "The more thou searchest, the more thou shalt marvel; for the world hasteneth fast to pass away,

27 and cannot comprehend the things that are promised to the righteous in time to come; for this world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities.

28 But concerning the things whereof thou askest me, I will tell thee; for the evil is sown, but the destruction thereof has not yet come.

29 If therefore that which is sown be not turned upside down, and if the place where the evil is sown pass not away, then it cannot come that is sown with good.
