2 Esdras 2:34-36

Common English Bible

³⁴ I say to you who hear and understand: Wait for your shepherd. I will give you your eternal rest, because the end of the age and the decline of humankind are near. ³⁵ Be prepared for the kingdom’s rewards, for everlasting light will shine on you, and eternity is prepared for you. ³⁶ Run away from this world’s shadow that holds your glory captive. I testify that my savior has been commissioned by the Lord.
