2 Esdras 6:26-28

Revised Standard Version

²⁶ And they shall see the men who were taken up, who from their birth have not tasted death; and the heart of the earth’s^[a] inhabitants shall be changed and converted to a different spirit. ²⁷ For evil shall be blotted out, and deceit shall be quenched; ²⁸ faithfulness shall flourish, and corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which has been so long without fruit, shall be revealed.”
