2 Esdras 2:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Good mother, embrace your children. Give them joy, like a dove that brings up its children. Make their feet steady, for I have chosen you, says the Lord. ¹⁶ I will raise the dead from their places and from their tombs, for I have recognized that my name is in them.

¹⁷ Don’t fear, mother of the children: I have chosen you, says the Lord.
