2 Esdras 16:37

37 The disasters are approaching rapidly, and they will not be delayed.

2 Esdras 16:37 In-Context

35 Now listen to my message, you people who serve the Lord.

36 It is the Lord's message, so receive it and believe what he says.

37 The disasters are approaching rapidly, and they will not be delayed.

38 A woman in the ninth month of pregnancy may suffer labor pains for several hours, but when the time comes for the baby to be born, there is no longer any delay.

39 In the same way, the disasters that are coming on the earth will not be delayed, and the world will groan when it is caught in its labor pains.
