37 For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress.

2 Esdras 6:37 In-Context

35 And it came to pass after this that I wept again and fasted seven days in like manner, that I might fulfill the three weeks of which he told me.
36 And on the eighth night was my heart vexed within me again, and I began to speak before the Most High.Œ
37 For my spirit was greatly set on fire, and my soul was in distress.
38 And I said, "O Lord, Thou spokest from the beginning of the creation, even the first day, and said thus: `Let heaven and earth be made'; and Thy word was a perfect work.
39 And then was the Spirit, and darkness and silence were on every side; the sound of man's voice was not yet formed.
