2 Esdras 5:40

40 Then said He unto me, "As thou canst do none of these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find out My judgment, or in the end the love that I have promised unto My people."

2 Esdras 5:40 In-Context

38 And I said, "O Lord who bearest rule, who may know these things but He that hath not His dwelling with men?

39 As for me, I am unwise; how may I then speak of these things whereof Thou askest me?"

40 Then said He unto me, "As thou canst do none of these things that I have spoken of, even so canst thou not find out My judgment, or in the end the love that I have promised unto My people."

41 And I said, "Behold, O Lord, yet art Thou nigh unto those who are reserved till the end; and what shall they do who have been before me, or we who are now, or those who shall come after us?"

42 And He said unto me, "I will liken My judgment unto a ring: as there is no slackness of the last, even so there is no swiftness of the first."
