2 Esdras 16:49

Listen to 2 Esdras 16:49

2 Esdras 16:49 In-Context

47 Those who conduct business, do it only to be plundered; the more they adorn their cities, their houses and possessions, and their persons,
48 the more angry I will be with them for their sins," says the Lord.
49 Just as a respectable and virtuous woman abhors a harlot,
50 so righteousness shall abhor iniquity, when she decks herself out, and shall accuse her to her face, when he comes who will defend him who searches out every sin on earth.
51 Therefore do not be like her or her works.
