2 Esdras 3:8

8 And every people walked after their own will, and did dreadful things before Thee and despised Thy commandments.

2 Esdras 3:8 In-Context

6 And Thou leddest him into Paradise which Thy right hand had planted before ever the earth came forward.
7 And unto him Thou gavest commandment to love Thy way, which he transgressed; and immediately Thou appointed death in him and in his generations, from whom came nations, tribes, people, and kindred without number.
8 And every people walked after their own will, and did dreadful things before Thee and despised Thy commandments.
9 And again, in process of time, Thou broughtest the flood upon those who dwelt in the world, and destroyed them.
10 And it came to pass with every one of them that as death was to Adam, so was the flood to these.
