2 Esdras 16:52

2 Esdras 16:52 Context

⁴⁹Like as a whore envieth a right honest and virtuous woman: ⁵⁰So shall righteousness hate iniquity, when she decketh herself, and shall accuse her to her face, when he cometh that shall defend him that diligently searcheth out every sin upon earth. ⁵¹And therefore be ye not like thereunto, nor to the works thereof. ⁵²For yet a little, and iniquity shall be taken away out of the earth, and righteousness shall reign among you. ⁵³Let not the sinner say that he hath not sinned: for God shall burn coals of fire upon his head, which saith before the Lord God and his glory, I have not sinned. ⁵⁴Behold, the Lord knoweth all the works of men, their imaginations, their thoughts, and their hearts: ⁵⁵Which spake but the word, Let the earth be made; and it was made: Let the heaven be made; and it was created.
