2 Esdras 13:9 In-Context

7 I tried to see the region or place from which the mountain was carved, but I couldn't.
8 After this I looked and I saw that all who had gathered to do battle against him were sorely afraid, yet they dared to fight.
9 When he saw the rush of the multitude coming, he didn't raise his hand or hold a spear or any weapon of war. Rather, I saw
10 something like a wave of fire shoot forth from his mouth, and a breath of flame from his lips, and a storm of sparks from his tongue. All these things—the wave of fire, the breath of flame, and the mighty storm—mixed together
11 and fell upon the crowd that was rushing forward, prepared to fight. It burned them all up so that suddenly nothing was seen of the innumerable mob except the dust of ashes and the smell of smoke. I saw this and was amazed.
