2 Esdras 12:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ I said, “Supreme Lord, if you do look upon me favorably, if you consider me to be among the more righteous, and if my prayer has indeed risen into your presence, ⁸ strengthen me, and show me, your servant, the interpretation and meaning of this terrible vision. Console my soul, ⁹ since you have thought me worthy to be shown the end of times and the last events of the times.”
