houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid.

one against another, and repay the things that they have done to
them.

2 Esdr 15:21
Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do
also, and recompense in their bosom. Thus saith the Lord God;

not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the earth.

2 Esdr 15:23

foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like the straw that
is kindled.

power, defile not my sanctuary.

their nature; and if they shall turn themselves, conspiring
together in great power to persecute them,

their power, and shall flee.

them, and consume some of them, and in their host shall be fear
and dread, and strife among their kings.
