2 Esdras 15:24

24 Alas for those who sin and do not observe my commandments, says the Lord;

2 Esdras 15:24 In-Context

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.

26 For God knows all who sin against him; therefore he will hand them over to death and slaughter.
