2 Esdras 13:49

49 Now when He destroyeth the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, He shall defend His people that remain.

2 Esdras 13:49 In-Context

47 the Highest shall stay the springs of the stream again, that they may go through. Therefore sawest thou the multitude with peace.
48 But those that are left behind of thy people are they that are found within My borders.
49 Now when He destroyeth the multitude of the nations that are gathered together, He shall defend His people that remain.
50 And then shall He show them great wonders."
51 Then said I, "O Lord that bearest rule, show me this: Why have I seen the Man coming up from the midst of the sea?"
