2 Esdras 16:53
Print
Look, just a little longer and sin will be removed from the earth and justice will rule over us.
Sinners must not say that they have not sinned; for God will burn coals of fire on the head of everyone who says, ‘I have not sinned before God and his glory.’
For in a very short time iniquity will be removed from the earth, and righteousness will reign over us.
Let no sinner say that he has not sinned; for God will burn coals of fire on the head of him who says, “I have not sinned before God and his glory.”
