2 Esdras 14:17

17 Truth will depart and falsehood will come near. Even now the eagle, which you saw in your vision, hastens to come."

2 Esdras 14:17 In-Context

15 As for the evils that you have now seen happen, people will yet do worse than these.

16 The weaker the world becomes because of old age, the more will evils multiply upon those who dwell in it.

17 Truth will depart and falsehood will come near. Even now the eagle, which you saw in your vision, hastens to come."

18 I answered: "I will speak your presence, Lord!

19 Look, I will go as you commanded me and warn the people who are now living. But who will warn those who will be born in the future?
