2 Esdras 15:20-22

Common English Bible

²⁰ Look, says the Lord, I am calling together all the kings of the earth, those from the north and from the south, from the east and from Lebanon. I am stirring them up to make them return and restore whatever my people^[a] gave them. ²¹ As they have done to my chosen ones even to this very day, so I will do to them: they will suffer full payback.^[b] This is what the Lord God says: ²² My strong hand won’t spare sinners, nor will my sword stop fighting against those who spill innocent blood on earth.
