2 Esdras 1:6-8

Common English Bible

⁶ because the children have added to their parents’ sins. They forgot me and offered sacrifices to foreign gods! ⁷ Didn’t I bring them out of the land of Egypt where they lived in slavery? Why then have they angered me and rejected my advice?

⁸ Therefore, the Lord says: Tear out your hair and hurl every kind of disaster at them, because they haven’t obeyed my Law. Undisciplined people!
