2 Esdras 1:8 In-Context

6 My people have sinned even more than their ancestors, for they have forgotten me and offered sacrifices to foreign gods.
7 I rescued them from Egypt, where they were slaves, but they have done things that made me angry and have refused to listen to my warnings.
8 "Ezra, tear your hair in grief and call down on these people all the disasters they deserve. They are rebellious and refuse to obey my Law.
9 How much longer can I tolerate these people for whom I have done so much?
10 For their sake I overthrew many kings and crushed the king of Egypt together with his officials and all his army.
