2 Esdras 8:1
1. And he answered me, saying, The most High hath made this world for many, but the world to come for few.2. I will tell thee a similitude, Esdras; As when thou askest the earth, it shall say unto thee, that it giveth much mould whereof earthen vessels are made, but little dust that gold cometh of: even so is the course of this present world.
