2 Esdras 13:39

2 Esdras 13:39 Context

³⁶And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed to all men, being prepared and builded, like as thou sawest the hill graven without hands. ³⁷And this my Son shall rebuke the wicked inventions of those nations, which for their wicked life are fallen into the tempest; ³⁸And shall lay before them their evil thoughts, and the torments wherewith they shall begin to be tormented, which are like unto a flame: and he shall destroy them without labour by the law which is like unto me. ³⁹And whereas thou sawest that he gathered another peaceable multitude unto him; ⁴⁰Those are the ten tribes, which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea the king, whom Salmanasar the king of Assyria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, and so came they into another land. ⁴¹But they took this counsel among themselves, that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt, ⁴²That they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land.
