2 Esdras 4:10-12
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
10 He said to me, ‘You cannot understand the things with which you have grown up; 11 how then can your mind comprehend the way of the Most High? And how can one who is already worn out[a] by the corrupt world understand incorruption?’[b] When I heard this, I fell on my face[c] 12 and said to him, ‘It would have been better for us not to be here than to come here and live in ungodliness, and to suffer and not understand why.’
