2 Esdras 16:49

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

2 Esdras 16:49 In-Context

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.

51 And therefore be ye not like thereunto, nor to the works thereof.
