2 Esdras 5:4 In-Context

2 Unrighteousness shall be increased beyond what you yourself see, and beyond what you heard of formerly.
3 And the land that you now see ruling shall be a trackless waste, and people shall see it desolate.
4 But if the Most High grants that you live, you shall see it thrown into confusion after the third period; and the sun shall suddenly begin to shine at night, and the moon during the day.
5 Blood shall drip from wood, and the stone shall utter its voice; the peoples shall be troubled, and the stars shall fall.
6 And one shall reign whom those who inhabit the earth do not expect, and the birds shall fly away together;
