2 Esdras 3:25

25 This was done for many years; but the inhabitants of the city transgressed,

2 Esdras 3:25 In-Context

23 So the times passed and the years were completed, and you raised up for yourself a servant, named David.

24 You commanded him to build a city for your name, and there to offer you oblations from what is yours.

25 This was done for many years; but the inhabitants of the city transgressed,

26 in everything doing just as Adam and all his descendants had done, for they also had the evil heart.

27 So you handed over your city to your enemies.
