2 Esdras 7:67-69

Common English Bible

⁶⁷ But what does it profit us that we will be preserved, only to be tortured with torments? ⁶⁸ All who are born are mixed up with violations, full of sins, and weighed down with crimes. ⁶⁹ If we were not to come into judgment after death, it would perhaps have been better for us.”
