  9. 2 Esdras 15:55-63

2 Esdras 15:55-63

  1. The reward of thy whoredom shall be in thy bosom, therefore shalt thou receive recompence.

  2. Like as thou hast done unto my chosen, saith the Lord, even so shall God do unto thee, and shall deliver thee into mischief

  3. Thy children shall die of hunger, and thou shalt fall through the sword: thy cities shall be broken down, and all thine shall perish with the sword in the field.

  4. They that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood, for very hunger of bread, and thirst of water.

  5. Thou as unhappy shalt come through the sea, and receive plagues again.

  6. And in the passage they shall rush on the idle city, and shall destroy some portion of thy land, and consume part of thy glory, and shall return to Babylon that was destroyed.

  7. And thou shalt be cast down by them as stubble, and they shall be unto thee as fire;

  8. And shall consume thee, and thy cities, thy land, and thy mountains; all thy woods and thy fruitful trees shall they burn up with fire.

  9. Thy children shall they carry away captive, and, look, what thou hast, they shall spoil it, and mar the beauty of thy face.
