2 Esdras 4:6-8
Revised Standard Version
6 I answered and said, “Who of those that have been born can do this, that you ask me concerning these things?”
7 And he said to me, “If I had asked you, ‘How many dwellings are in the heart of the sea, or how many streams are at the source of the deep, or how many streams are above the firmament, or which are the exits of hell, or which are the entrances[a] of paradise?’ 8 Perhaps you would have said to me, ‘I never went down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither did I ever ascend into heaven.’
