2 Esdras 16:35

35 Their grooms will be killed in war, and their husbands will perish from famine.

2 Esdras 16:35 In-Context

33 The earth will be left desolate, and its fields will be taken over by thornbushes, and its roads and all its paths will sprout thorns, because sheep won't pass on them.

34 Virgins will mourn, having no bridegrooms; women will mourn, having no husbands; their daughters will mourn, having no support.

35 Their grooms will be killed in war, and their husbands will perish from famine.

36 Listen to these things and understand them, you servants of the Lord.

37 Here is the Lord's word. Accept it. Don't disbelieve the things that the Lord speaks about.
