2 Esdras 15:23

23 And a fire went forth from his wrath, and consumed the foundations of the earth and the sinners, like burnt straw.

2 Esdras 15:23 In-Context

21 Just as they have done to my elect until this day, so I will do, and will repay into their bosom. Thus says the Lord God:
22 My right hand will not spare the sinners, and my sword will not cease from those who shed innocent blood on earth.
23 And a fire went forth from his wrath, and consumed the foundations of the earth and the sinners, like burnt straw.
24 Alas for those who sin and do not observe my commandments, says the Lord;
25 I will not spare them. Depart, you faithless children! Do not pollute my sanctuary.
