2 Esdras 4:44-46

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

How Much Time Remains?

⁴⁴ I answered and said, ‘If I have found favour in your sight, and if it is possible, and if I am worthy, ⁴⁵ show me this also: whether more time is to come than has passed, or whether for us the greater part has gone by. ⁴⁶ For I know what has gone by, but I do not know what is to come.’
