2 Esdras 16:51-61

51 Therefore do not be like her or her works.
52 For behold, just a little while, and iniquity will be removed from the earth, and righteousness will reign over us.
53 Let no sinner say that he has not sinned; for God will burn coals of fire on the head of him who says, "I have not sinned before God and his glory."
54 Behold, the Lord knows all the works of men, their imaginations and their thoughts and their hearts.
55 He said, "Let the earth be made," and it was made; "Let the heaven be made," and it was made.
56 At his word the stars were fixed, and he knows the number of the stars.
57 It is he who searches the deep and its treasures, who has measured the sea and its contents;
58 who has enclosed the sea in the midst of the waters, and by his word has suspended the earth over the water;
59 who has spread out the heaven like an arch, and founded it upon the waters;
60 who has put springs of water in the desert, and pools on the tops of the mountains, to send rivers from the heights to water the earth;
61 who formed man, and put a heart in the midst of his body, and gave him breath and life and understanding
