2 Esdras 13:16

16 For as I consider it in my mind, alas for those who will be left in those days! And still more, alas for those who are not left!

2 Esdras 13:16 In-Context

14 "From the beginning you have shown your servant these wonders, and have deemed me worthy to have my prayer heard by you;

15 now show me the interpretation of this dream also.

16 For as I consider it in my mind, alas for those who will be left in those days! And still more, alas for those who are not left!

17 For those who are not left will be sad

18 because they understand the things that are reserved for the last days, but cannot attain them.
