2 Esdras 16:1-6

1 Babylonia, Asia, Egypt, and Syria, you are doomed!

2 Put on your clothes of mourning, your sackcloth and goat's hair. Cry and wail for your children because the time for your destruction is near.

3 I am sending war on you, and no one can stop it.

4 I am sending fire on you, and no one can put it out.

5 I am sending disasters on you, and no one can stop them from coming.

6 Can anyone stop a hungry lion in the forest or put out a fire that is burning in straw
