2 Esdras 15:61

61 Your country will be destroyed like straw in a fire.

2 Esdras 15:61 In-Context

59 You will be more miserable than anyone has ever been, but there will be still more punishment to come.

60 The army that destroyed Babylon will march back through your country and devastate your peaceful city; they will destroy your beautiful country and leave most of it in ruins.

61 Your country will be destroyed like straw in a fire.

62 They will burn up all your forests and orchards. All over your land, your cities and mountains will be covered with ruins.

63 Your splendor will vanish; your children will be carried off as prisoners; your possessions will be plundered."
