call unto him another peaceable Multitude.

2 Esdr 13:13
And there came much people unto him, whereof some were glad,
some were sorry, and some of them were bound, and other some

fear, and I awaked, and said,

2 Esdr 13:14
Thou hast shewed thy servant these wonders from the
beginning, and hast counted me worthy that thou shouldest
receive my prayer:

2 Esdr 13:15
Shew me now yet the interpretation of this dream.
