2 Esdras 16:60-67 Common English Bible (CEB)

60. He stretched out the heaven like a vaulted ceiling and sank its pillars into the waters.

61. He put springs of water in the desert and lakes on the tops of mountains to send forth rivers from on high so that the earth might drink.

62. He formed the human being and put a heart in the middle of his body and gave him spirit, life, and intelligence

63. and the breath of God almighty, who made all things and examines the things that are hidden in dark corners.

64. He certainly knows your designs and what you think in your hearts.How terrible it will be for those who sin and want to hide their sins.

65. The Lord will certainly examine all their works and will put you all on parade.

66. You will be put to shame when your sins are paraded before people; your own sins will stand up as your accusers on that day.

67. What will you do? How will you hide your sins before God and his glory?
