2 Esdras 12:4-6

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁴ ‘You have brought this upon me, because you search out the ways of the Most High. ⁵ I am still weary in mind and very weak in my spirit, and not even a little strength is left in me, because of the great fear with which I have been terrified tonight. ⁶ Therefore I will now entreat the Most High that he may strengthen me to the end.’
