2 Esdras 5:30

30 If you really hate your people, they should be punished with your own hands.

2 Esdras 5:30 In-Context

28 Now, Lord, why did you give the one to the many? Why dishonor the one root above all the rest, and scatter your only one among the many?

29 Those who have denied your promises have trampled those who believed in your covenants!

30 If you really hate your people, they should be punished with your own hands.

31 When I had said these words, the angel who had come to me on the previous night was sent to me.

32 He said to me: "Listen to me, and I will instruct you; pay attention to me, and I will tell you more."
