2 Esdras 4:20

2 Esdras 4:20 Context

¹⁸If thou wert iudge now betwixt these two, whom wouldest thou begin to iustifie, or whom wouldest thou condemne? ¹⁹I answered and said, Uerily it is a foolish thought that they both haue deuised: for the ground is giuen vnto the wood, and the sea also hath his place to beare his floods. ²⁰Then answered he me and said, Thou hast giuen a right iudgment, but why iudgest thou not thy selfe also? ²¹For like as the ground is giuen vnto the wood, & the sea to his floods: euen so they that dwell vpon the earth may vnderstand nothing, but that which is vpon the earth: and hee that dwelleth aboue the heauens, may onely vnderstand the things that are aboue the height of the heauens. ²²Then answered I, and said, I beseech thee, O Lord, let me haue vnderstanding.
