2 Esdras 7:128-130

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹²⁸ if they are defeated they shall suffer what you have said, but if they are victorious they shall receive what I have said.^{[a] 129} For this is the way of which Moses, while he was alive, spoke to the people, saying, ‘Choose life for yourself, so that you may live!’^{(A) 130} But they did not believe him or the prophets after him or even myself who have spoken to them.^(B)
