2 Esdras 15:48

2 Esdras 15:48 Context

⁴⁵And they that remain under her shall do service unto them that have put her in fear. ⁴⁶And thou, Asia, that art partaker of the hope of Babylon, and art the glory of her person: ⁴⁷Woe 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. ⁴⁸Thou hast followed her that is hated in all her works and inventions: therefore saith God, ⁴⁹I will send plagues upon thee; widowhood, poverty, famine, sword, and pestilence, to waste thy houses with destruction and death. ⁵⁰And the glory of thy Power shall be dried up as a flower, the heat shall arise that is sent over thee. ⁵¹Thou shalt be weakened as a poor woman with stripes, and as one chastised with wounds, so that the mighty and lovers shall not be able to receive thee.
