2 Esdras 16:8

8 The Lord God sends disasters; who can ward them off?

2 Esdras 16:8 In-Context

6 Can anyone ward off a hungry lion in the woods? Or put out a fire in dried hay, once it has begun to burn?

7 Or repel an arrow shot by a strong archer?

8 The Lord God sends disasters; who can ward them off?

9 His anger blazes like fire; who can extinguish it?

10 When lightning flashes, who isn't afraid? When it thunders, who doesn't feel fear?
