2 Esdras 3:26

2 Esdras 3:26 Context

²³So the times passed away, and the years were brought to an end: then didst thou raise thee up a servant, called David: ²⁴Whom thou commandedst to build a city unto thy name, and to offer incense and oblations unto thee therein. ²⁵When this was done many years, then they that inhabited the city forsook thee, ²⁶And in all things did even as Adam and all his generations had done: for they also had a wicked heart: ²⁷And so thou gavest thy city over into the hands of thine enemies. ²⁸Are their deeds then any better that inhabit Babylon, that they should therefore have the dominion over Sion? ²⁹For when I came thither, and had seen impieties without number, then my soul saw many evildoers in this thirtieth year, so that my heart failed me.
