2 Esdras 16:53

53 Sinners must not deny their sins. Those who say that they have not sinned against God and his majesty are only bringing fiery shame upon themselves.

2 Esdras 16:53 In-Context

51 So do not imitate sinfulness or what it does,
52 for in a very short time sinfulness will be swept out of the world and righteousness will rule among us.
53 Sinners must not deny their sins. Those who say that they have not sinned against God and his majesty are only bringing fiery shame upon themselves.
54 The Lord certainly knows everything that people do; he knows their plans and innermost thoughts.
55 When the Lord said, "Let the world be created," it was done! When he said, "Let the sky be created," that was done too.
