2 Esdras 5:47 Context
45And I said, As thou hast said vnto thy seruant, that thou which giuest life to all, hast giuen life at once to the creature that thou hast created, and the creature bare it: euen so it might now also beare them that now be present at once. 46And he said vnto me, Aske the wombe of a woman, & say vnto her, If thou bringest forth children, why doest thou it not together, but one after another? pray her therefore to bring forth tenne children at once. 47And I said, She cannot: but must doe it by distance of time. 48Then said he vnto me, Euen so haue I giuen the wombe of the earth to those that be sowen in it, in their times. 49For like as a young child may not bring forth the things that belong to the aged, euen so haue I disposed the world which I created.
