Why is 2 Esdras shown with the King James Bible?
3 There be many created, but few shall be saved.
4 So answered I and said, Swallow then down, O my soul, understanding, and devour wisdom.
7 For thou art alone, and we all one workmanship of thine hands, like as thou hast said.
13 And thou shalt mortify it as thy creature, and quicken it as thy work.
18 But I have heard the swiftness of the judge which is to come.
24 O hear the prayer of thy servant, and give ear to the petition of thy creature.
25 For while I live I will speak, and so long as I have understanding I will answer.
26 O look not upon the sins of thy people; but on them which serve thee in truth.
40 Like as I have spoken now, so shall it come to pass.
42 I answered then and said, If I have found grace, let me speak.
48 In this also thou art marvellous before the most High:
51 But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee.
54 Sorrows are passed, and in the end is shewed the treasure of immortality.
55 And therefore ask thou no more questions concerning the multitude of them that perish.
57 Moreover they have trodden down his righteous,
58 And said in their heart, that there is no God; yea, and that knowing they must die.
