2 Esdras 9:23

2 Esdras 9:23 Context

²⁰So I considered the world, and, behold, there was peril because of the devices that were come into it. ²¹And I saw, and spared it greatly, and have kept me a grape of the cluster, and a plant of a great people. ²²Let the multitude perish then, which was born in vain; and let my grape be kept, and my plant; for with great labour have I made it perfect. ²³Nevertheless, if thou wilt cease yet seven days more, (but thou shalt not fast in them, ²⁴But go into a field of flowers, where no house is builded, and eat only the flowers of the field; taste no flesh, drink no wine, but eat flowers only;) ²⁵And pray unto the Highest continually, then will I come and talk with thee. ²⁶So I went my way into the field which is called Ardath, like as he commanded me; and there I sat among the flowers, and did eat of the herbs of the field, and the meat of the same satisfied me.
