2 Esdras 15:9 In-Context

7 Therefore," says the Lord,

8 "I will be silent no longer concerning their ungodly deeds which they impiously commit, neither will I tolerate their wicked practices. Behold, innocent and righteous blood cries out to me, and the souls of the righteous cry out continually.

9 I will surely avenge them," says the Lord, "and will receive to myself all the innocent blood from among them.

10 Behold, my people is led like a flock to the slaughter; I will not allow them to live any longer in the land of Egypt,

11 but I will bring them out with a mighty hand and with an uplifted arm, and will smite Egypt with plagues, as before, and will destroy all its land."
