2 Esdras 14:29-31

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

²⁹ At first our ancestors lived as aliens in Egypt, and they were liberated from there^{(A) 30} and received the law of life, which they did not keep, which you also have transgressed after them.^{(B) 31} Then land was given to you for a possession in the land of Zion, but you and your ancestors committed iniquity and did not keep the ways that the Most High commanded you.
