2 Esdras 4:29

29 If therefore that which is sown be not turned upside down, and if the place where the evil is sown pass not away, then it cannot come that is sown with good.

2 Esdras 4:29 In-Context

27 and cannot comprehend the things that are promised to the righteous in time to come; for this world is full of unrighteousness and infirmities.

28 But concerning the things whereof thou askest me, I will tell thee; for the evil is sown, but the destruction thereof has not yet come.

29 If therefore that which is sown be not turned upside down, and if the place where the evil is sown pass not away, then it cannot come that is sown with good.

30 For the grain of evil seed hath been sown in the heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much ungodliness hath it brought up unto this time? And how much shall it yet bring forth until the time of threshing come!

31 Ponder now by thyself how great the fruit of wickedness the grain of evil seed hath brought forth.
