2 Esdras 4:41-43
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
41 And I said, ‘No, lord, it cannot.’
He said to me, ‘In Hades the chambers of the souls are like the womb. 42 For just as a woman who is in labour makes haste to escape the pangs of birth, so also do these places hasten to give back those things that were committed to them from the beginning. 43 Then the things that you desire to see will be disclosed to you.’
