2 Esdras 16:76

76 If you keep my laws and commands," says the Lord, "you must not let your sins weigh you down or control you.

2 Esdras 16:76 In-Context

74 But listen to what the Lord says: "My chosen people, the time of terrible suffering is near, but I will rescue you.

75 Don't be afraid or have any doubts; I am your God and I will lead you.

76 If you keep my laws and commands," says the Lord, "you must not let your sins weigh you down or control you.

77 Those who are chained by their sins, overwhelmed by the evil they have done, are doomed. They will be like a field overgrown with brush, with the path across it so choked with thorns that no one can get through.

78 It is abandoned and doomed to be destroyed by fire."
