2 Esdras 8:30 In-Context

28 Think not upon those that have walked feignedly before Thee, but remember them that according to Thy will have known Thy fear.

29 Let it not be Thy will to destroy them that have lived like beasts, but to look upon them that have clearly taught Thy law.

30 Take Thou no indignation at them that are deemed worse than beasts, but love them that always put their trust in Thy righteousness and glory.

31 For we and our fathers do languish from such diseases, but because of us sinners Thou shalt be called merciful.

32 For if Thou hast a desire to have mercy upon us, Thou shalt be called merciful, to us, namely, that have no works of righteousness.
