2 Esdras 16:53-55

Common English Bible

⁵³ Look, just a little longer and sin will be removed from the earth and justice will rule over us. ⁵⁴ Let sinners not deny that they have sinned, for God will burn coals of fire over the head of those who say, “I haven’t sinned before God and his glory.” ⁵⁵ Look, the Lord knows all the works of humanity, their devices, their plotting, and their hearts.
