Translation commentary on 2 Esdras 6:36

And on the eighth night my heart was troubled within me again, and I began to speak in the presence of the Most High: Once again Ezra was troubled, so he prayed to God (compare 2 Esd 3.1-3; 5.21-22). For the Most High, see the comments on 2 Esd 3.3. For a model of this verse see the one at the end of the discussion on the next verse.
