2 Esdras 14:44

2 Esdras 14:44 Context

⁴¹And my mouth was opened, and shut no more. ⁴²The Highest gave understanding unto the five men, and they wrote the wonderful visions of the night that were told, which they knew not: and they sat forty days, and they wrote in the day, and at night they ate bread. ⁴³As for me. I spake in the day, and I held not my tongue by night. ⁴⁴In forty days they wrote two hundred and four books. ⁴⁵And it came to pass, when the forty days were filled, that the Highest spake, saying, The first that thou hast written publish openly, that the worthy and unworthy may read it: ⁴⁶But keep the seventy last, that thou mayest deliver them only to such as be wise among the people: ⁴⁷For in them is the spring of understanding, the fountain of wisdom, and the stream of knowledge.
