2 Esdras 3:14 In-Context

12 "And it happened, when they that dwelt upon the earth began to multiply, and had gotten them many children and were a great people, that they began again to be more ungodly than the first.

13 Now when they lived so wickedly before Thee, Thou didst choose Thee a man from among them whose name was Abraham.

14 Him Thou loved, and unto him only Thou showed Thy will

15 and madest an everlasting covenant with him, promising him that Thou wouldest never forsake his seed.

16 And unto him Thou gavest Isaac, and unto Isaac also Thou gavest Jacob and Esau. As for Jacob, Thou didst choose him to Thee and put off Esau; and so Jacob became a great multitude.
