2 Esdras 16:15-18
-
15 The fire is kindled, and shall not be put out, till it consume the foundation of the earth.
-
16 Like as an arrow which is shot of a mighty archer returneth not backward: even so the plagues that shall be sent upon earth shall not return again.
-
17 Woe is me! woe is me! who will deliver me in those days?
-
18 The beginning of sorrows and great mournings; the beginning of famine and great death; the beginning of wars, and the powers shall stand in fear; the beginning of evils! what shall I do when these evils shall come?
