2 Esdras 4:29

29 If that which was sown isn't reaped, and the place where evil has been sown hasn't departed, the field where good is sown won't come.

2 Esdras 4:29 In-Context

27 Indeed, it can't bring the things that are promised to the just during this age, because this world is full of sadness and sickliness.

28 The evil about which you asked me has been sown, and its full harvest hasn't yet come.

29 If that which was sown isn't reaped, and the place where evil has been sown hasn't departed, the field where good is sown won't come.

30 A grain of evil seed was sown in the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much godlessness it has produced until now and will produce until the time for threshing comes!

31 Calculate for yourself how much godless fruit the grain of evil seed will have produced!
