2 Esdras 16:29

29 As in an orchard of olives upon every tree there are left three or four olives,

2 Esdras 16:29 In-Context

27 so that one man shall desire to see another and to hear his voice.

28 For of a city there shall be ten left, and two of the field, who shall hide themselves in the thick groves and in the clefts of the rocks.

29 As in an orchard of olives upon every tree there are left three or four olives,

30 or as when a vineyard is gathered, there are left some clusters by them that diligently seek through the vineyard,

31 even so in those days there shall be three or four left by them that search their houses with the sword.
