2 Esdras 4:50
49. After this there passed by before me a watery cloud, and sent down much rain with a storm; and when the stormy rain was past, the drops remained still.50. Then said he unto me, Consider with thyself; as the rain is more than the drops, and as the fire is greater than the smoke; but the drops and the smoke remain behind: so the quantity which is past did more exceed.51. Then I prayed, and said, May I live, thinkest thou, until that time? or what shall happen in those days?
