2 Esdras 1:23 Context
21I diuided amongst you a fruitfull land, I cast out the Canaanites, the Pherezites, and the Philistines before you: what shall I yet doe more for you: saith the Lord? 22Thus saith the Almighty Lord, when you were in the wildernes in the riuer of the Amorites, being athirst, and blaspheming my Name, 23I gaue you not fire for your blasphemies, but cast a tree in the water, and made the riuer sweet. 24What shall I doe vnto thee, O Iacob? thou Iuda wouldest not obey me: I will turne me to other nations, and vnto those will I giue my Name, that they may keepe my Statutes. 25Seeing yee haue forsaken mee, I will forsake you also: when yee desire me to be gracious vnto you, I shall haue no mercy vpon you.
