2 Esdras 15:17

17 A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.

2 Esdras 15:17 In-Context

15 For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, with swords in their hands.
16 For there shall be sedition among men; and, invading one another, they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.
17 A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able.
18 For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid.
19 A man shall have no pity upon his neighbor, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and despoil their goods, because of the lack of bread and for great tribulation.
