2 Esdras 1:5-14 World English Bible (WEB)

5. Go your way, and show my people their sinful deeds, and their children their wickedness which they have done against me; that they may tell their children’s children:

6. because the sins of their fathers are increased in them: for they have forgotten me, and have done sacrifice to strange gods.

7. Did I not bring them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage? but they have provoked me to wrath, and have despised my counsels.

8. Shake you then the hair of your head, and cast all evils upon them, for they have not been obedient to my law, but it is a rebellious people.

9. How long shall I forbear them, to whom I have done so much good?

10. I have overthrown many kings for their sakes; I have struck down Pharoah with his servants and all his host.

11. I have destroyed all the nations before them, and in the east I have scattered the people of two provinces, even of Tyre and Sidon, and have slain all their adversaries.

12. Speak therefore to them, saying,

13. Thus says the Lord, of a truth I brought you through the sea, and where there was no path I made for you highways; I gave you Moses for a leader, and Aaron for a priest.

14. I gave you light in a pillar of fire, and great wonders have I done among you; yet have you⌃ forgotten me, says the Lord.
