2 Esdras 16:50

Listen to 2 Esdras 16:50
50 so righteousness despises sinfulness, no matter how attractive it may look. Righteousness will expose every sin in the world and condemn it face-to-face when her Defender comes.

2 Esdras 16:50 In-Context

48 the more angry the Lord will become with them because of their sin. This is what the Lord says.
49 Just as a respectable woman despises a prostitute,
50 so righteousness despises sinfulness, no matter how attractive it may look. Righteousness will expose every sin in the world and condemn it face-to-face when her Defender comes.
51 So do not imitate sinfulness or what it does,
52 for in a very short time sinfulness will be swept out of the world and righteousness will rule among us.
