2 Esdras 9:6-8

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶ so also are the times of the Most High: the beginnings are manifest in wonders and mighty works, and the end in penalties^[a] and in signs.

⁷ ‘It shall be that all who will be saved and will be able to escape on account of their works, or on account of the faith by which they have believed, ⁸ will survive the dangers that have been predicted, and will see my salvation in my land and within my borders, which I have sanctified for myself from the beginning.
