2 Esdras 3:25

25 This was done for many years. But those who inhabited the city sinned,

2 Esdras 3:25 In-Context

23 Times passed and years were completed, and you raised up for yourself a servant named David.

24 You told him to build a city to your name and to bring you offerings in it from what is yours.

25 This was done for many years. But those who inhabited the city sinned,

26 doing in every matter just as Adam and all his descendants had done, for they too exercised their inclination to do evil.

27 So you handed your city over to your enemies.
