2 Esdras 8:37

2 Esdras 8:37 Context

³⁴For what is man, that thou shouldest take displeasure at him? or what is a corruptible generation, that thou shouldest be so bitter toward it? ³⁵For in truth them is no man among them that be born, but he hath dealt wickedly; and among the faithful there is none which hath not done amiss. ³⁶For in this, O Lord, thy righteousness and thy goodness shall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them which have not the confidence of good works. ³⁷Then answered he me, and said, Some things hast thou spoken aright, and according unto thy words it shall be. ³⁸For indeed I will not think on the disposition of them which have sinned before death, before judgment, before destruction: ³⁹But I will rejoice over the disposition of the righteous, and I will remember also their pilgrimage, and the salvation, and the reward, that they shall have. ⁴⁰Like as I have spoken now, so shall it come to pass.
