2 Esdras 4:3-5
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
3 Then I said, ‘Yes, my lord.’ And he replied to me, ‘I have been sent to show you three ways, and to put before you three problems. 4 If you can solve one of them for me, then I will show you the way you desire to see, and will teach you why the heart is evil.’
5 I said, ‘Speak, my lord.’
And he said to me, ‘Go, weigh for me the weight of fire, or measure for me a blast[a] of wind, or call back for me the day that is past.’
