2 Esdras 15:53
King James VersionSource notes
“If thou hadst not always slain my chosen, exalting the stroke of thine hands, and saying over their dead, when thou wast drunken,”
Context
50And the glory of thy Power shall be dried up as a flower, the heat shall arise that is sent over thee.
51Thou shalt be weakened as a poor woman with stripes, and as one chastised with wounds, so that the mighty and lovers shall not be able to receive thee.
52Would I with jealousy have so proceeded against thee, saith the Lord,
53If thou hadst not always slain my chosen, exalting the stroke of thine hands, and saying over their dead, when thou wast drunken,
54Set forth the beauty of thy countenance?
55The reward of thy whoredom shall be in thy bosom, therefore shalt thou receive recompence.
56Like as thou hast done unto my chosen, saith the Lord, even so shall God do unto thee, and shall deliver thee into mischief
