2 Esdr 15:1
Behold, speak thou in the ears of my people the words of
prophecy, which I will put in thy mouth, saith the Lord:

2 Esdr 15:2
And cause them to be written in paper: for they are faithful

2 Esdr 15:3
Fear not the imaginations against thee, let not the
incredulity of them trouble thee, that speak against thee.

2 Esdr 15:4
