through them?
2 Esdr 11:40
And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were

and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit.
2 Esdr 11:41
For the earth hast thou not judged with truth.
2 Esdr 11:42

such as did thee no harm.
2 Esdr 11:43

behold, they are ended, and his abominations are fulfilled.
2 Esdr 11:45
