2 Esdras 1:4 In-Context

2 the son of Ahijah, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli, the son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth, the son of Arna, the son of Uzzi, the son of Borith, the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar,
3 the son of Aaron, of the tribe of Levi, who was a captive in the land of the Medes in the reign of Artaxerxes king of the Persians.
4 And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
5 "Go thy way, and show My people their sinful deeds, and their children their wickedness which they have done against Me, that they may tell their children's children,
6 because the sins of their fathers are increased in them; for they have forgotten Me and have offered unto strange gods.
