2 Esdras 3:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁷ And you laid upon him one commandment of yours; but he transgressed it, and immediately you appointed death for him and for his descendants. From him there sprang nations and tribes, peoples and clans without number. ⁸ And every nation walked after its own will; they did ungodly things in your sight and rejected your commands, and you did not hinder them. ⁹ But again, in its time you brought the flood upon the inhabitants of the world and destroyed them.
