2 Esdras 16:48

48 the more will I be angry with them for their sin," saith the Lord.

2 Esdras 16:48 In-Context

46 for strangers shall reap their fruits and despoil their goods, overthrow their houses and take their children captives, for in captivity and famine shall they get children.

47 And they that trade in their merchandise with robbery, the more they deck their cities, their houses, their possessions and their own persons,Œ

48 the more will I be angry with them for their sin," saith the Lord.

49 As a whore envieth a right honest and virtuous woman,

50 so shall righteousness hate iniquity when she decketh herself, and shall accuse her to her face, when He cometh that shall defend him that diligently searcheth out every sin upon earth.
