2 Esdras 7:124-126

Common English Bible

¹²⁴ but we won’t enter it, for we have visited unseemly places? ¹²⁵ What good is it that the faces of those who practiced abstinence will shine brighter than stars when our faces are blacker than darkness? ¹²⁶ While we were alive and doing evil, we didn’t think about what we would suffer after death.”
