14:32 And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took from you in time the thing that he had given you.
14:33 And now are ye here, and your brethren among you.
14:34 Therefore if so be that ye will subdue your own understanding, and reform your hearts, ye shall be kept alive and after death ye shall obtain mercy.
14:35 For after death shall the judgment come, when we shall live again: and then shall the names of the righteous be manifest, and the works of the ungodly shall be declared.
14:36 Let no man therefore come unto me now, nor seek after me these forty days.
14:37 So I took the five men, as he commanded me, and we went into the field, and remained there.
14:38 And the next day, behold, a voice called me, saying, Esdras, open thy mouth, and drink that I give thee to drink.
14:39 Then opened I my mouth, and, behold, he reached me a full cup, which was full as it were with water, but the colour of it was like fire.
14:40 And I took it, and drank: and when I had drunk of it, my heart uttered understanding, and wisdom grew in my breast, for my spirit strengthened my memory:
14:41 And my mouth was opened, and shut no more.
