Most High

The Hebrew, Aramaic, Latin, or Greek that is translated as “(God) the Most High” or “Most High God” in English is translated in various way:

Translation commentary on 2 Esdras 12:39

But wait here seven days more, so that you may be shown whatever it pleases the Most High to show you: Compare 2 Esd 5.13; 6.31; 9.23. These words end the speech of Uriel begun in verse 10.

Then he left me: The pronoun he refers to the angel Uriel, which Good News Bible makes clear.

Good News Bible provides a helpful model for this verse.
