53 I said, "Lord, who would do such a thing?"

2 Esdras 7:53 In-Context

51 Regarding what you said about the just being not many but few and the wicked being numerous, think about this:

52 If you have very few choice stones, will you add lead and clay to their number?"

53 I said, "Lord, who would do such a thing?"

54 He said to me, "Not only this, but ask the earth and it will inform you; flatter it and it will tell you.

55 Say to it: You create gold, silver, bronze, iron, and also lead and clay.
