2 Esdras 16:50

50 Just as a proper and good woman is enraged at a woman who is promiscuous,

2 Esdras 16:50 In-Context

48 Those who transact business do so only to be plundered. The longer they adorn their cities and houses, possessions and persons,
49 the more I will be enraged against them on account of their sins, says the Lord.
50 Just as a proper and good woman is enraged at a woman who is promiscuous,
51 so justice will be enraged against sin when it tries to make itself beautiful, and will accuse it to its face since he who defends will come, hunting up sins on the earth.
52 Therefore, don't be like it or its ways.
