33 I, Ezra, received a command from the Lord on Mount Horeb for Israel, but they rejected this commandment.
34 I say to you who hear and understand: Wait for your shepherd. I will give you your eternal rest, because the end of the age and the decline of humankind are near.
35 Be prepared for the kingdom’s rewards, for everlasting light will shine on you, and eternity is prepared for you.
36 Run away from this world’s shadow that holds your glory captive. I testify that my savior has been commissioned by the Lord.
37 Receive the joy that comes from your glory, all of you, giving thanks to him who has called you to heavenly kingdoms.
38 Rise, stand, and see the number of those sealed at the feast,
39 those who have transferred themselves from the shadow of this world and received bright garments from the Lord.
