2 Esdras 3:28-32 World English Bible (WEB)

28. And I said then in mine heart, are their deeds any better that inhabit Babylon? and has she therefore dominion over Sion?

29. For it came to pass when I came hither, that I saw also impieties without number, and my soul saw many evil-doers in this thirties year, so that my heart failed me.

30. For I have seen how you suffer them sinning, and have spared the ungodly doers, and have destroyed your people, and have preserved your enemies; and you have not signified

31. to any how your way may be comprehended. Are the deeds of Babylon better than those of Sion?

32. Or is there any other nation that knows you beside Israel? or what tribes have so believed your covenants as these tribes of Jacob?
