2 Esdras 15:9

9 I will surely avenge them, says the Lord, and I will receive all their innocent blood to myself.

2 Esdras 15:9 In-Context

7 Therefore, says the Lord,

8 I will no longer be silent about their wicked deeds, which they do in their godlessness, nor will I tolerate any longer the things they do wickedly. Look, innocent and righteous blood calls out to me, and the souls of the just cry out constantly.

9 I will surely avenge them, says the Lord, and I will receive all their innocent blood to myself.

10 Look, my people are led like sheep to slaughter. I will no longer permit them to live in the land of Egypt,

11 but I will bring them out with a great display of my power, and I will strike Egypt with plagues as before, and I will destroy all its land.
