2 Esdras 16:20
Print
Look! A plague of famine has been sent out, and the distress it inflicts is like a whip, a punishment for discipline.
Yet for all this they will not turn from their iniquities, or ever be mindful of the scourges.
Famine and plague, tribulation and anguish are sent as scourges for the correction of humankind.
Yet for all this they will not turn from their iniquities, nor be always mindful of the scourges.
