2 Esdras 4:44

2 Esdras 4:44 Context

⁴¹Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. And he said unto me, In the grave the chambers of souls are like the womb of a woman: ⁴²For like as a woman that travaileth maketh haste to escape the necessity of the travail: even so do these places haste to deliver those things that are committed unto them. ⁴³From the beginning, look, what thou desirest to see, it shall be shewed thee. ⁴⁴Then answered I and said, If I have found favour in thy sight, and if it be possible, and if I be meet therefore, ⁴⁵Shew me then whether there be more to come than is past, or more past than is to come. ⁴⁶What is past I know, but what is for to come I know not. ⁴⁷And he said unto me, Stand up upon the right side, and I shall expound the similitude unto thee.
