1st and 2nd Esdras are definitely ordained scripture. Do your research. In 1611 the King James Bible was transliterated into different languages (published) it originally had 80 books. Two and seventy years later the Protestants took it out because they realized that the Bible was only for one people and one people only the Israelites so to say it's not scripture or wasn't accepted is blasphemy. Those 14 books to include the Esdras books were in the original Bible for 270 years. The Romans ie the Protestants took it out to confuse the people. If this verse was in the Bible in 1611 when it was published explain why the 14 books lasted for 270 years and then removed
"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."
Revelation 22:19 KJV
Explain that.don't go anywhere else.explain that and that only!!!!!
Some denominations, like the R/Catholics and Eastern Orthodox churches accept those Books in their Biblical canon either as God inspired or just useful for reading. Thats why they are called deuterocanonical, meaning second in order after canonical books. Some accept all of them, others some of them. But there are churches, mainly in the Protestant branch, as well as the Jews themselves, that have rejected them as not inspired by God. GBU
The bible consists of several books as you know. Revelation is just one of 66.
I am not sure you can take Revelation 22:19 and use it as a warning for all the other books.
This warning seems to apply to The prophecy of Revelation.
"And if any man shall take away from the WORDS OF THE BOOK OF THIS PROPHECY, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in "THIS BOOK."
Personally I'm not interested in any of the Apocryphal books because I believe the Lord is capable and did preserve his truth/word in these 66 books line upon line, precept upon precept.
However I have researched as you've asked. Here's what I have been able to find.

QUESTION
What are the books of 1 Esdras and 2 Esdras?
1 Esdras, 2 Esdras
audio
ANSWER
The books of 1 and 2 Esdras are not part of the biblical canon. First Esdras is part of what is considered the Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical scripture. Second Esdras is an apocalyptic work and is considered pseudepigraphal. Except for some Greek Orthodox, Episcopal, or Lutheran Bibles, 1 and 2 Esdras do not appear in most Bibles. Authorship and dating of 1 and 2 Esdras are somewhat problematic, and some scholars place the writing of certain portions of 2 Esdras as late as the 2nd century AD. "Esdras" is another form of the name Ezra, which means "help."
The Roman Catholic Council of Trent in 1546, which officially recognized several books of the Apocrypha, listed "the first book of Esdras, and the second" as part of the biblical canon. However, these are the books we normally call "Ezra" and "Nehemiah" today and are not to be confused with the pseudepigraphal 1 and 2 Esdras (which appeared in the Vulgate as 3 and 4 Esdras).
There are some historical problems with 1 and 2 Esdras. In the narrative of 1 Esdras, the reign of the Persian King Artaxerxes incorrectly precedes those of Cyrus the Great (c. 559-529 BC) and Darius I (Darius the Great, 521-486 BC), although some believe this is simply a literary device called "prolepsis" in which a person or event is assigned to an earlier period or represented as if it had already occurred. First Esdras appears in the Septuagint as an expanded book of Ezra, containing four additional chapters. It is an account of King Josiah's reforms and history of the destruction of the temple in 586 BC and chronicles the Jews' return from Babylonian captivity under Zerubbabel. This book was said to be known by Josephus (born AD 38).
Second Esdras was written too late to be included in the Septuagint and, therefore, does not appear within the more prominent canon (Jewish, Protestant, Catholic, or Orthodox). Second Esdras is also known by many other names, making it difficult to track fully. For example, 2 Esdras contains portions known in some circles as 3 Ezra, 4 Ezra, 5 Ezra, and 6 Ezra. The Ethiopian Church considers 4 Ezra to be canonical, whereas the Eastern Armenian Church labels it as 3 Ezra. Further, some scholars believe these books were written by several authors, including some possibly as late as the second century AD.
Second Esdras is often referred to as the Jewish Apocalypse of Ezra and contains seven visions of Ezra dealing with his angst over the pain and suffering inflicted upon Jews by Gentiles. Some scholars believe the book was written shortly after the AD 70 destruction of the temple in Jerusalem during the reign of Emperor Domitian (AD 81-96). While there is a definite tone of sadness in this work, there is consolation regarding ultimate retribution. There are six Messianic references within 2 Esdras.
To add them you would have to eliminate some of the other books we have due to contradictions.
Micaiah I choose to believe that the scriptures we have now are what God wanted to be preserved for man to know Him and His son Jesus christ and His gift of holy spirit. The actual main subject matter of Gods word is Jesus Christ and everything God did for
man to make sure His Son would be born to redeem us from the power of the adversary. In psalm 138:2 god said He magnified his Word above all His name. I.E. of all of Gods Creation nothing is greater then his word thats because his word spoke all of
creation into existance. So what we have now is what He God wanted.
I don't read them because is speaks much on the Chaldeans of ancient culture. God did not want Israel to intermarry with them.
I read about the Giants, Judith; but it is not about our Savior Jesus Christ. The Canonized Bible is about Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. His story is the Power of God into Salvation. That's good enough for me.
