The King James Version Bible

2 Esdras 15:46-49

  1. And thou, Asia, that art partaker of the hope of Babylon, and art the glory of her person:

  2. 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.

  3. Thou hast followed her that is hated in all her works and inventions: therefore saith God,

  4. I will send plagues upon thee; widowhood, poverty, famine, sword, and pestilence, to waste thy houses with destruction and death.
