2 Esdras 15:56
King James VersionSource notes
“Like as thou hast done unto my chosen, saith the Lord, even so shall God do unto thee, and shall deliver thee into mischief”
Context
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
57Thy children shall die of hunger, and thou shalt fall through the sword: thy cities shall be broken down, and all thine shall perish with the sword in the field.
58They that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood, for very hunger of bread, and thirst of water.
59Thou as unhappy shalt come through the sea, and receive plagues again.
