2 Esdras 7:81

81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High.

2 Esdras 7:81 In-Context

79 If it is one of those who have shown scorn and have not kept the way of the Most High, who have despised his law and hated those who fear God—
80 such spirits shall not enter into habitations, but shall immediately wander about in torments, always grieving and sad, in seven ways.
81 The first way, because they have scorned the law of the Most High.
82 The second way, because they cannot now make a good repentance so that they may live.
83 The third way, they shall see the reward laid up for those who have trusted the covenants of the Most High.
