2 Esdras 8:58

58 and said in their heart that there is no God; yea, and that, knowing they must die.

2 Esdras 8:58 In-Context

56 For when they had taken liberty, they despised the Most High, thought scorn of His law, and forsook His ways.

57 Moreover they have trodden down His righteous,

58 and said in their heart that there is no God; yea, and that, knowing they must die.

59 For as the things spoken of shalt receive you, so thirst and pain are prepared for them. For it was not His will that men should come to nought,

60 but they that are created have defiled the name of Him that made them, and were unthankful unto Him that prepared life for them.
