2 Esdras 8:38-40

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³⁸ For indeed I will not concern myself about the fashioning of those who have sinned, or about their death, their judgement, or their destruction; ³⁹ but I will rejoice over the creation of the righteous, over their pilgrimage also, and their salvation, and their receiving their reward. ⁴⁰ As I have spoken, therefore, so it shall be.
