2 Esdras 4:3-5

Common English Bible

³ I said, “Yes, my Lord.”

He answered: “I am sent to show you three ways and to set three problems before you. ⁴ If you can say anything to me about one of these, I will show you the way you want to see, and I will teach you why the heart leans toward evil.”

⁵ I said, “Speak, my Lord.”

He said to me, “Go, weigh for me the weight of fire, or measure for me a blast of wind, or call back for me the day that is past.”
