2 Esdras 5:12
11. One land also shall ask another, and say, Is righteousness that maketh a man righteous gone through thee? And it shall say, No.12. At the same time shall men hope, but nothing obtain: they shall labour, but their ways shall not prosper.13. To shew thee such tokens I have leave; and if thou wilt pray again, and weep as now, and fast even days, thou shalt hear yet greater things.
