2 Esdras 8:38

2 Esdras 8:38 Context

³⁵For in truth them is no man among them that be born, but he hath dealt wickedly; and among the faithful there is none which hath not done amiss. ³⁶For in this, O Lord, thy righteousness and thy goodness shall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which have not the confidence of good works. ³⁷Then answered he me, and said, Some things hast thou spoken aright, and according unto thy words it shall be. ³⁸For indeed I will not think on the disposition of them which have sinned before death, before judgment, before destruction: ³⁹But I will rejoice over the disposition of the righteous, and I will remember also their pilgrimage, and the salvation, and the reward, that they shall have. ⁴⁰Like as I have spoken now, so shall it come to pass. ⁴¹For as the husbandman soweth much seed upon the ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that is sown good in his season cometh not up, neither doth all that is planted take root: even so is it of them that are sown in the world; they shall not all be saved.
