2 Esdras 16:22

22 Many people on earth will starve to death, and those who escape starvation will be killed in war.

2 Esdras 16:22 In-Context

20 But in spite of all this, they will not turn away from their sins; they soon forget their punishment.

21 The time is coming when food will be so cheap that people will think a time of peace and plenty has arrived. But then disasters will spring up everywhere - wars, famine, and great confusion.

22 Many people on earth will starve to death, and those who escape starvation will be killed in war.

23 Their corpses will be thrown out like garbage, and there will be no one left to comfort the living. The earth will be deserted and its cities demolished.

24 There will be no one left to plow the land or plant it.
