2 Esdras 16:30

30 As three or four olives are left on individual trees in an olive orchard,

2 Esdras 16:30 In-Context

28 A person will want to see another human being and hear his voice.

29 Ten will survive out of an entire city; out of a field only two who have hidden themselves in dense groves and fissures in the rocks will be left.

30 As three or four olives are left on individual trees in an olive orchard,

31 or as in a vineyard that has been harvested a few clusters are left by those who diligently search the vineyard,

32 so in those days three or four will be left by those who search house to house with the sword.
