2 Esdras 9:36

36 The Law was placed in our hearts, and we are the ones who will be destroyed because we have sinned.

2 Esdras 9:36 In-Context

34 The usual thing is that the container remains after its contents have been destroyed, for example, seed in the ground, a ship on the sea, or food in a bowl. But this is not the case with us sinners.

36 The Law was placed in our hearts, and we are the ones who will be destroyed because we have sinned.

37 The Law will not be destroyed; it will remain in all its glory."

38 While I was saying these things to myself, I looked around and saw a woman on my right. She was weeping and wailing, terribly upset; her clothes were torn, and there were ashes on her head.
