2 Esdras 1:25

25 When those who abandoned me beg for mercy, I won't have mercy on them.

2 Esdras 1:25 In-Context

23 I didn't become angry. Instead, I cast wood into the water and made the river sweet.

24 What will I do to you, Jacob? Judah, you wouldn't obey me. I will turn to another nation and give them my name. They will certainly keep my ordinances.

25 When those who abandoned me beg for mercy, I won't have mercy on them.

26 When they call upon me, I won't hear them because they have stained their souls, and have hands stained with blood. Your feet aren't slow to commit murder.

27 You haven't abandoned me; rather, you have abandoned yourselves, says the Lord.
