2 Esdras 8:42

2 Esdras 8:42 Context

⁴⁰Like as I haue spoken now, so shall it come to passe. ⁴¹For as the husbandmau soweth much seed vpon the ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sowen good in his season, commeth not vp, neither doeth all that is planted take root: euen so is it of them that are sowen in the world, they shall not all be saued. ⁴²I answered then, and said, If I haue found grace, let me speake. ⁴³Like as the husbandmans seede perisheth, if it come not vp, and receiue not the raine in due season, or if there come too much raine and corrupt it: ⁴⁴Euen so perisheth man also which is formed with thy hands, and is called thine owne image, because thou art like vnto him, for whose sake thou hast made all things, and likened him vnto the husbandmans seede.
