2 Esdras 2:21-26 Common English Bible (CEB)

21. Care for the broken and the weak. Don’t mock the lame, but protect them instead. Help the blind to see a vision of my glory.

22. Gather the old and the young within your walls. Watch over your infants. Let your servants and employees rejoice, and your whole community will have good morale.

23. When I find your dead, I will raise them. I will watch for signs, and I will give them the front seat at the resurrection I will bring about.

24. Wait a little; your rest will come.

25. Good nurse, nourish your children. Strengthen those whom you bore and make their feet steady,

26. because none of those whom I have given you will perish. I will require them from your number.
