2 Esdras 4:29-31

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁹ If therefore that which has been sown is not reaped, and if the place where the evil has been sown does not pass away, the field where the good has been sown will not come. ³⁰ For a grain of evil seed was sown in Adam’s heart from the beginning, and how much ungodliness it has produced until now—and will produce until the time of threshing comes! ³¹ Consider now for yourself how much fruit of ungodliness a grain of evil seed has produced.
