2 Esdras 3:32-34

Common English Bible

³² Has any other nation known you besides Israel? What tribes have believed your covenants as have these tribes of Jacob, ³³ whose reward hasn’t appeared and whose labor hasn’t borne fruit? I have traveled widely among the nations and seen them enjoying abundance while not giving your commandments a thought. ³⁴ Now then put our sins on one side of a pair of scales, and put the sins of those who live in the world on the other side. Let’s see then which way the scales tip.
