2 Esdras 9:32

2 Esdras 9:32 In-Context

30 Listen to me, Israel! Offspring of Jacob, pay attention to what I say!
31 Look, I am sowing my Law in you, and it will bear fruit in you, and you will be glorified in it forever.
32 Though our parents received the Law, they didn't keep it and didn't observe what was lawful. The fruit of the Law didn't perish, nor could it, since it was yours.
33 Yet those who received it perished, not keeping what was sown in them.
34 Normally, when the ground receives seed or the sea a ship or some other container food or drink, and when it happens that what was sown or what was sent or what was received is destroyed,
