  9. 2 Esdras 15:10-17

2 Esdras 15:10-17

  1. Behold, my people is led as a flock to the slaughter: I will not suffer them now to dwell in the land of Egypt:

  2. But I will bring them with a mighty hand and a stretched out arm, and smite Egypt with plagues, as before, and will destroy all the land thereof.

  3. Egypt shall mourn, and the foundation of it shall be smitten with the plague and punishment that God shall bring upon it.

  4. They that till the ground shall mourn: for their seeds shall fail through the blasting and hail, and with a fearful constellation.

  5. Woe to the world and them that dwell therein!

  6. For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, and swords in their hands.

  7. For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.

  8. A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.
