2 Esdras 4:17

2 Esdras 4:17 Context

¹⁵The floods of the Sea also in like maner tooke counsell, and said, Come, let vs goe vp and subdue the woods of the plaine, that there also we may make vs another countrey. ¹⁶The thought of the wood was in vaine, for the fire came and consumed it. ¹⁷The thought of the floods of the Sea came likewise to nought, for the sand stood vp and stopped them. ¹⁸If thou wert iudge now betwixt these two, whom wouldest thou begin to iustifie, or whom wouldest thou condemne? ¹⁹I answered and said, Uerily it is a foolish thought that they both haue deuised: for the ground is giuen vnto the wood, and the sea also hath his place to beare his floods.
