2 Esdras 4:43 In-Context

43 From the beginning look what thou desirest to see; it shall be shown thee."

44 Then answered I and said, "If I have found favor in thy sight, and if it be possible, and if I be meet therefore,

45 show me then whether there be more to come than is past, or more past than is to come.
