2 Esdras 15:46-49
-
46 And thou, Asia, that art partaker of the hope of Babylon, and art the glory of her person:
-
47 Woe be unto thee, thou wretch, because thou hast made thyself like unto her; and hast decked thy daughters in whoredom, that they might please and glory in thy lovers, which have always desired to commit whoredom with thee.
-
48 Thou hast followed her that is hated in all her works and inventions: therefore saith God,
-
49 I will send plagues upon thee; widowhood, poverty, famine, sword, and pestilence, to waste thy houses with destruction and death.
