2 Esdras 15:53

53 if thou hadst not always slain My chosen, exalting the stroke of thine hands and saying over their dead when thou wast drunken,

2 Esdras 15:53 In-Context

51 Thou shalt be weakened as a poor woman with stripes and as one chastised with wounds, so that the mighty and lovers shall not be able to receive thee.

52 Would I with jealousy have so proceeded against thee," saith the Lord,

53 if thou hadst not always slain My chosen, exalting the stroke of thine hands and saying over their dead when thou wast drunken,

54 `Set forth the beauty of thy countenance'?

55 The reward of thy whoredom shall be in thy bosom; therefore shalt thou receive recompense.
