2 Esdras 6:59

59 If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we not possess an inheritance with the world? how long shall this endure?

2 Esdras 6:59 In-Context

57 And now, O Lord, behold, these heathen, which have ever been reputed as nothing, have begun to be lords over us, and to devour us.

58 But we thy people, whom thou hast called thy firstborn, thy only begotten, and thy fervent lover, are given into their hands.

59 If the world now be made for our sakes, why do we not possess an inheritance with the world? how long shall this endure?
