2 Esdras 8:60
King James VersionSource notes
“But they which be created have defiled the name of him that made them, and were unthankful unto him which prepared life for them.”
Context
57Moreover they have trodden down his righteous,
58And said in their heart, that there is no God; yea, and that knowing they must die.
59For as the things aforesaid shalt receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them: for it was not his will that men should come to nought:
60But they which be created have defiled the name of him that made them, and were unthankful unto him which prepared life for them.
61And therefore is my judgment now at hand.
62These things have I not shewed unto all men, but unto thee, and a few like thee. Then answered I and said,
63Behold, O Lord, now hast thou shewed me the multitude of the wonders, which thou wilt begin to do in the last times: but at what time, thou hast not shewed me.
