2 Esdras 14:29 In-Context

27 Then I went as he commanded me, and I gathered all the people together, and said,
28 "Hear these words, O Israel.
29 At first our ancestors lived as aliens in Egypt, and they were liberated from there
30 and received the law of life, which they did not keep, which you also have transgressed after them.
31 Then land was given to you for a possession in the land of Zion; but you and your ancestors committed iniquity and did not keep the ways that the Most High commanded you.
