2 Esdras 15:23

23 God's anger has gone forth like fire to devour the earth's foundations and sinners like kindled straw.

2 Esdras 15:23 In-Context

21 As they have done to my chosen ones even to this very day, so I will do to them: they will suffer full payback. This is what the Lord God says:

22 My strong hand won't spare sinners, nor will my sword stop fighting against those who spill innocent blood on earth.

23 God's anger has gone forth like fire to devour the earth's foundations and sinners like kindled straw.

24 How terrible it will be for those who sin and don't keep my laws, says the Lord.

25 I won't spare them. Go away, faithless children! Don't defile my sanctuary!
