6:5 And ere the present years were sought out, and or ever the inventions of them that now sin were turned, before they were sealed that have gathered faith for a treasure:
6:6 Then did I consider these things, and they all were made through me alone, and through none other: by me also they shall be ended, and by none other.
6:7 Then answered I and said, What shall be the parting asunder of the times? or when shall be the end of the first, and the beginning of it that followeth?
6:8 And he said unto me, From Abraham unto Isaac, when Jacob and Esau were born of him, Jacob’s hand held first the heel of Esau.
6:9 For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.
6:10 The hand of man is betwixt the heel and the hand: other question, Esdras, ask thou not.
6:11 I answered then and said, O Lord that bearest rule, if I have found favour in thy sight,
6:12 I beseech thee, shew thy servant the end of thy tokens, whereof thou shewedst me part the last night.
6:13 So he answered and said unto me, Stand up upon thy feet, and hear a mighty sounding voice.
6:14 And it shall be as it were a great motion; but the place where thou standest shall not be moved.
