2 Esdras 7:33-36 Common English Bible (CEB)

33. The Most High will be revealed on the throne of judgment, and mercy will pass away. Patience will be withdrawn,

34. and only judgment will remain. Truth will arise, faith will recover strength,

35. and works will have their consequences. Reward will come about, righteous deeds will awake, and unrighteous deeds won’t sleep.

36. "The lake of torment will appear, and across from it will be the place of rest. Hell’s furnace will be displayed and across from it the delightful paradise.
