2 Esdras 15:18-27
-
18 For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid.
-
19 A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.
-
20 Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them.
-
21 Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense in their bosom. Thus saith the Lord God;
-
22 My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and my sword shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the earth.
-
23 The fire is gone forth from his wrath, and hath consumed the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like the straw that is kindled.
-
24 Woe to them that sin, and keep not my commandments! saith the Lord.
-
25 I will not spare them: go your way, ye children, from the power, defile not my sanctuary.
-
26 For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruction.
-
27 For now are the plagues come upon the whole earth and ye shall remain in them: for God shall not deliver you, because ye have sinned against him.
