2 Esdras 1:30-33 World English Bible (WEB)

30. I gathered you together, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings: but now, what shall I do to you? I will cast you out from my presence.

31. When you⌃ offer oblations to me, I will turn my face from you: for your solemn feast days, your new moons, and your circumcisions of the flesh, have I rejected.

32. I sent to you my servants the prophets, whom you⌃ have taken and slain, and torn their bodies in pieces, whose blood I will require of your hands, says the Lord.

33. Thus says the Lord Almighty, Your house is desolate, I will cast you out as the wind does stubble.
