2 Esdras 4:4 In-Context

3 Then said I, "Yea, my lord." And he answered me and said, "I am sent to show thee three ways and to set forth three similitudes before thee;

4 whereof if thou canst declare me one, I will show thee also the way that thou desirest to see, and I shall show thee from whence the wicked heart cometh."

5 And I said, "Tell on, my lord." Then said he unto me, "Go thy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, or measure me the blast of the wind, or call me back the day that is past."

6 Then answered I and said, "What man is able to do that, that thou shouldest ask such things of me?"
