3 1 Anno tricesimo ruinae ciuitatis eram in Babilone, ego Salathihel qui et Ezras, et conturbatus sum super cubili meo recumbens, et cogitationes meae ascendebant super cor meum; 2 Quoniam uidi desertionem Sion et habundantiam eorum qui habitabant in Babilone. 3 Et uentilatus est spiritus meus ualde, et coepi loqui ad altissimum uerba timorata, 4 Et dixi: O dominator domine, nonne tu dixisti ab initio, quando plasmasti terram, et hoc solus, et imperasti pulueri 5 Et dedit tibi Adam, corpus mortuum?
4 Esdras 3:1–14:47
