2 Esdras 16:16 In-Context

14 He has already sent out his disasters toward the earth, and they will not miss their target.

15 The fire has been lit, and it cannot be put out until it burns up the foundations of the earth.

16 The disasters are on their way toward the earth, and like an arrow shot by a strong archer, they cannot be turned back.

17 I'm doomed! I'm doomed! Who will rescue me in those days?

18 Troubles will come, and many people will groan. Famine will come, and many will die. Wars will come, and the world powers will tremble. Disasters will come, and everyone will be terrified. What will people do when these disasters come?
