2 Esdras 16:51
Print
so justice will be enraged against sin when it tries to make itself beautiful, and will accuse it to its face since he who defends will come, hunting up sins on the earth.
Therefore do not be like her or her works.
so righteousness shall abhor iniquity when she decks herself out and shall accuse her to her face when he comes to defend the one who searches out every sin on earth.
Therefore do not be like her or her works.
