2 Esdras 9:23

23 Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven days more; but thou shalt not fast in them,

2 Esdras 9:23 In-Context

21 And I saw, and spared it greatly, and have kept Me a grape of the cluster, and a plant of a great people.

22 Let the multitude perish then, which was born in vain, and let My grape be kept, and my plant; for with great labor have I made it perfect.

23 Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven days more; but thou shalt not fast in them,

24 but go into a field of flowers where no house is built, and eat only the flowers of the field; taste no flesh, drink no wine, but eat flowers only,

25 and pray unto the Highest continually; then will I come and talk with thee."
