2 Esdras 15:23 In-Context

21 I will pay them back with the same harsh treatment they have always given to my chosen people." The Lord says,

22 "I will use my power, and there will be no mercy for sinners; I will put to death all who have murdered innocent people.

23 My anger has become so fierce that fire has blazed out to burn up the foundations of the earth and to burn up sinners like straw.

24 Sinners who do not keep my commands are doomed," says the Lord.

25 "I will have no mercy on them! Out of my sight, you rebels! Do not defile my holy Temple."
