2 Esdras 13:4

4 and whenever his voice issued from his mouth, all who heard his voice melted as wax melts when it feels the fire.

2 Esdras 13:4 In-Context

2 And lo, a wind arose from the sea and stirred up all its waves.
3 As I kept looking the wind made something like the figure of a man come up out of the heart of the sea. And I saw that this man flew with the clouds of heaven; and wherever he turned his face to look, everything under his gaze trembled,
4 and whenever his voice issued from his mouth, all who heard his voice melted as wax melts when it feels the fire.
5 After this I looked and saw that an innumerable multitude of people were gathered together from the four winds of heaven to make war against the man who came up out of the sea.
6 And I looked and saw that he carved out for himself a great mountain, and flew up on to it.
