2 Esdras 4:16 Context
14And said, Come, let vs goe and make warre against the Sea, that it may depart away before vs, and that we may make vs more woods. 15The floods of the Sea also in like maner tooke counsell, and said, Come, let vs goe vp and subdue the woods of the plaine, that there also we may make vs another countrey. 16The thought of the wood was in vaine, for the fire came and consumed it. 17The thought of the floods of the Sea came likewise to nought, for the sand stood vp and stopped them. 18If thou wert iudge now betwixt these two, whom wouldest thou begin to iustifie, or whom wouldest thou condemne?
