2 Esdras 15:15

15 The sword and distress draw near, and nation will rise against nation to fight with spears in their hands.

2 Esdras 15:15 In-Context

13 Let the farmers who work the ground howl, because they won't have enough seed, and their trees will be devastated by blight, hail, and terrible storms.
14 How terrible it will be for the world and those who live in it!
15 The sword and distress draw near, and nation will rise against nation to fight with spears in their hands.
16 Human beings won't be able to trust each other. As they grow strong against each other, they will pay no respect to their king or to the powerful chief of their great men.
17 Someone will want to go into the city and won't be able.
