2 Esdras 1:8

8 Therefore, the Lord says: Tear out your hair and hurl every kind of disaster at them, because they haven't obeyed my Law. Undisciplined people!

2 Esdras 1:8 In-Context

6 because the children have added to their parents' sins. They forgot me and offered sacrifices to foreign gods!
7 Didn't I bring them out of the land of Egypt where they lived in slavery? Why then have they angered me and rejected my advice?
8 Therefore, the Lord says: Tear out your hair and hurl every kind of disaster at them, because they haven't obeyed my Law. Undisciplined people!
9 How long will I put up with them—and after I granted them so many favors?
10 I have overthrown many kings for their sakes. I plunged Pharaoh together with his servants and his whole army into the sea!
