2 Esdras 9:33-35

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³³ Yet those who received it perished, because they did not keep what had been sown in them. ³⁴ Now this is the general rule that, when the ground has received seed, or the sea a ship, or any dish food or drink, and when it comes about that what was sown or what was launched or what was put in is destroyed, ³⁵ they are destroyed, but the things that held them remain; yet with us it has not been so.
