2 Esdras 8:50-54
[50]For many great miseries shall be done to them that in the latter time shall dwell in the world, because they have walked in great pride.
[51]But understand thou for thyself, and seek out the glory for such as be like thee.
[52]For unto you is paradise opened, the tree of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and wisdom.
[53]The root of evil is sealed up from you, weakness and the moth is hid from you, and corruption is fled into hell to be forgotten:
[54]Sorrows are passed, and in the end is shewed the treasure of immortality.
