2 Esdras 3:25

2 Esdras 3:25 Context

²²Thus infirmity was made permanent; and the law (also) in the heart of the people with the malignity of the root; so that the good departed away, and the evil abode still. ²³So the times passed away, and the years were brought to an end: then didst thou raise thee up a servant, called David: ²⁴Whom thou commandedst to build a city unto thy name, and to offer incense and oblations unto thee therein. ²⁵When this was done many years, then they that inhabited the city forsook thee, ²⁶And in all things did even as Adam and all his generations had done: for they also had a wicked heart: ²⁷And so thou gavest thy city over into the hands of thine enemies. ²⁸Are their deeds then any better that inhabit Babylon, that they should therefore have the dominion over Sion?
