2 Esdras 9:9
King James VersionSource notes
“Then shall they be in pitiful case, which now have abused my ways: and they that have cast them away despitefully shall dwell in torments.”
Context
6Even so the times also of the Highest have plain beginnings in wonder and powerful works, and endings in effects and signs.
7And every one that shall be saved, and shall be able to escape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have believed,
8Shall be preserved from the said perils, and shall see my salvation in my land, and within my borders: for I have sanctified them for me from the beginning.
9Then shall they be in pitiful case, which now have abused my ways: and they that have cast them away despitefully shall dwell in torments.
10For such as in their life have received benefits, and have not known me;
11And they that have loathed my law, while they had yet liberty, and, when as yet place of repentance was open unto them, understood not, but despised it;
12The same must know it after death by pain.
