2 Esdras 11:42-46 World English Bible (WEB)

42. For you have afflicted the meek, you have hurt the peaceful, you have hated them that speak truth, you have loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and cast down the walls of such as did you no harm.

43. Therefore is your insolent dealing come up to the Most High, and your pride to the Mighty.

44. The Most High also has looked upon his times, and, behold, they are ended, and his ages are fulfilled.

45. And therefore appear no more, you eagle, nor your horrible wings, nor your evil little wings, nor your cruel heads, nor your hurtful talons, nor all your vain body:

46. that all the earth may be refreshed, and be eased, being delivered from your violence, and that she may hope for the judgement and mercy of him that made her.
