2 Esdras 10:26-32 World English Bible (WEB)

26. and, behold, suddenly she made a great cry very fearful; so that the earth shook at the noise.

27. And I looked, and, behold, the woman appeared to me no more, but there was a city builded, and a place showed itself from large foundations: then was I afraid, and cried with a loud voice, and said,

28. Where is Uriel the angel, who came to me at the first? for he has caused me to fall into this great trance, and mine end is turned into corruption, and my prayer to rebuke.

29. And as I was speaking these words, behold, the angel who had come to me at the first came to me, and he looked upon me:

30. and, behold, I lay as one that had been dead, and mine understanding was taken from me; and he took me by the right hand, and comforted me, and set me upon my feet, and said to me,

31. What aileth you? and why are you so disquieted? and why is your understanding troubled, and the thoughts of your heart?

32. And I said, Because you have forsaken me: yet I did according to your words, and went into the field, and, behold, I have seen, and yet see, that which I am not able to express.
