2 Esdras 3:6

2 Esdras 3:6 Context

³And my spirit was sore moved, so that I began to speak words full of fear to the most High, and said, ⁴O Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakest at the beginning, when thou didst plant the earth, and that thyself alone, and commandedst the people, ⁵And gavest a body unto Adam without soul, which was the workmanship of thine hands, and didst breathe into him the breath of life, and he was made living before thee. ⁶And thou leadest him into paradise, which thy right hand had planted, before ever the earth came forward. ⁷And unto him thou gavest commandment to love thy way: which he transgressed, and immediately thou appointedst death in him and in his generations, of whom came nations, tribes, people, and kindreds, out of number. ⁸And every people walked after their own will, and did wonderful things before thee, and despised thy commandments. ⁹And again in process of time thou broughtest the flood upon those that dwelt in the world, and destroyedst them.
