2 Esdr 16:66
What will ye do? or how will ye hide your sins before God and
his angels?

2 Esdr 16:67
Behold, God himself is the judge, fear him: leave off from
your sins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle no more with
them for ever: so shall God lead you forth, and deliver you from
all trouble.

2 Esdr 16:68
For, behold, the burning wrath of a great multitude is
kindled over you, and they shall take away certain of you, and
feed you, being idle, with things offered unto idols.

2 Esdr 16:69

in reproach, and trodden under foot.

2 Esdr 16:70
For there shall be in every place, and in the next cities, a
great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord.

2 Esdr 16:71
They shall be like mad men, sparing none, but still spoiling
and destroying those that fear the Lord.

2 Esdr 16:72
For they shall waste and take away their goods, and cast them
out of their houses.

2 Esdr 16:73
Then shall they be known, who are my chosen; and they shall
be tried as the gold in the fire.

2 Esdr 16:74
Hear, O ye my beloved, saith the Lord: behold, the days of
trouble are at hand, but I will deliver you from the same.

2 Esdr 16:75
Be ye not afraid neither doubt; for God is your guide,

2 Esdr 16:76
And the guide of them who keep my commandments and precepts,
saith the Lord God: let not your sins weigh you down, and let
not your iniquities lift up themselves.

2 Esdr 16:77
Woe be unto them that are bound with their sins, and covered
with their iniquities like as a field is covered over with
bushes, and the path thereof covered with thorns, that no man
may travel through!

2 Esdr 16:78
It is left undressed, and is cast into the fire to be
consumed therewith.
