32 I sent my servants the prophets to you. You took them, mangled them, and slaughtered those who had been sent.[a] But I will make you pay for their deaths, says the Lord.

2 Esdras 1:32 In-Context

30 I gathered you as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings. But what will I do with you? I will throw you out of my presence.
31 When you bring me offerings, I will turn my eyes away from you. I didn't command you to observe festival days, new moons, sabbaths, and circumcisions.
32 I sent my servants the prophets to you. You took them, mangled them, and slaughtered those who had been sent. But I will make you pay for their deaths, says the Lord.
33 The almighty Lord says this: Your house is left empty. I will scatter you as the wind scatters straw.
34 Your children will have no children, because they have neglected my commandment, and have done evil in front of me.
