2 Esdras 10:50-56 World English Bible (WEB)

50. For now the Most High, seeing that you are grieved unfeignedly, and suffer from your whole heart for her, has showed you the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:

51. and therefore I bade you remain in the field where no house was builded:

52. for I knew that the Most High would show this to you.

53. Therefore I commanded you to come into the field, where no foundation of any building was.

54. For in the place wherein the city of the Most High was to be showed, the work of no man’s building could stand.

55. Therefore fear you not, nor let your heart be affrighted, but go your way in, and see the beauty and greatness of the building, as much as your eyes be able to see:

56. and then shall you hear as much as your ears may comprehend.
