Translation commentary on 2 Esdras 13:37

And he, my Son, will reprove the assembled nations for their ungodliness (this was symbolized by the storm): Once again Contemporary English Version renders my Son as “God’s Son” since Uriel is speaking (see verse 32). For the storm, see verses 10-11. Good News Bible can serve as a model for this verse, but we adjust it slightly as follows:

• Then my [or, God’s] Son will condemn the assembled nations for their godlessness, which is what the storm in your dream symbolized [or, represented/stood for].
