2 Esdras 16:58-67

1. 58 He hath shut the sea in the midst of the waters, and with his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters.

2. 59 He spreadeth out the heavens like a vault; upon the waters hath he founded it.

3. 60 In the desert hath he made springs of water, and pools upon the tops of the mountains, that the floods might pour down from the high rocks to water the earth.

4. 61 He made man, and put his heart in the midst of the body, and gave him breath, life, and understanding.

5. 62 Yea and the Spirit of Almighty God, which made all things, and searcheth out all hidden things in the secrets of the earth,

6. 63 Surely he knoweth your inventions, and what ye think in your hearts, even them that sin, and would hide their sin.

7. 64 Therefore hath the Lord exactly searched out all your works, and he will put you all to shame.

8. 65 And when your sins are brought forth, ye shall be ashamed before men, and your own sins shall be your accusers in that day.

9. 66 What will ye do? or how will ye hide your sins before God and his angels?

10. 67 Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him: leave off from your sins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle no more with them for ever: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from all trouble.
