2 Esdras 7:66-68

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁶⁶ It is much better with them than with us; for they do not look for a judgement, and they do not know of any torment or salvation promised to them after death. ⁶⁷ What does it profit us that we shall be preserved alive but cruelly tormented? ⁶⁸ For all who have been born are entangled in^[a] iniquities, and are full of sins and burdened with transgressions.
