2 Esdras 7:11
10. And I said, It is so, Lord. Then said he unto me, Even so also is Israel's portion.11. Because for their sakes I made the world: and when Adam transgressed my statutes, then was decreed that now is done.12. Then were the entrances of this world made narrow, full of sorrow and travail: they are but few and evil, full of perils,: and very painful.
