2 Esdras 3:21-23

Common English Bible

²¹ The first Adam, burdened with this inclination, disobeyed you and was overcome, but so were all those descended from him. ²² The disease became permanent; the Law was in the people’s heart along with the wicked root, and that which was good departed and the wickedness remained. ²³ Times passed and years were completed, and you raised up for yourself a servant named David.
