2 Esdras 8:34-36
Revised Standard Version
34 But what is man, that thou art angry with him; or what is a corruptible race, that thou art so bitter against it? 35 For in truth there is no one among those who have been born who has not acted wickedly, and among those who have existed[a] there is no one who has not transgressed. 36 For in this, O Lord, thy righteousness and goodness will be declared, when thou art merciful to those who have no store of good works.”
