2 Esdras 1:6 In-Context

4 The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

5 "Go, declare to my people their evil deeds, and to their children the iniquities that they have committed against me, so that they may tell their children's children

6 that the sins of their parents have increased in them, for they have forgotten me and have offered sacrifices to strange gods.

7 Was it not I who brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage? But they have angered me and despised my counsels.

8 Now you, pull out the hair of your head and hurl all evils upon them, for they have not obeyed my law—they are a rebellious people.
