2 Esdras 9:30 In-Context

28 Then my mouth was opened, and I began to speak before the Most High, and said,

29 "O Lord, you showed yourself among us, to our ancestors in the wilderness when they came out from Egypt and when they came into the untrodden and unfruitful wilderness;

30 and you said, "Hear me, O Israel, and give heed to my words, O descendants of Jacob.

31 For I sow my law in you, and it shall bring forth fruit in you, and you shall be glorified through it forever.'

32 But though our ancestors received the law, they did not keep it and did not observe the statutes; yet the fruit of the law did not perish—for it could not, because it was yours.
