2 Esdras 5:10

10 Many will look for it, but they won't find it, and injustice and lust will be multiplied on earth.

2 Esdras 5:10 In-Context

8 Chasms will open up in many places, and fire will be shot forth frequently. Wild beasts will roam beyond their territory, and women will give birth to monsters.

9 Salt waters will be found in sources of freshwater. Friends everywhere will begin to fight each other. Reason will be hidden, and intelligence will go into hiding.

10 Many will look for it, but they won't find it, and injustice and lust will be multiplied on earth.

11 One country will ask its neighbor, ‘Has justice passed through you, doing what is right?' and the answer will be no.

12 At that time people will hope but not get what they hoped for; they will labor, but they will make no progress.
