2 Esdras 4:30-32

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

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. ³² When heads of grain without number are sown, how great a threshing-floor they will fill!’
