2 Esdras 13:23-26 World English Bible (WEB)

23. He that shall endure the peril in that time shall keep them that be fallen into danger, even such as have works, and faith toward the Almighty.

24. Know therefore, that they which be left behind are more blessed than they that be dead.

25. These are the interpretations of the vision: Whereas you saw a man coming up from the midst of the sea,

26. the same is he whom the Most High has kept a great season, which by his own self shall deliver his creature: and he shall order them that are left behind.
