2 Esdras 16:25

25 The trees shall bear fruit, but who will gather it?

2 Esdras 16:25 In-Context

23 And the dead shall be thrown out like dung, and there shall be no one to console them; for the earth shall be left desolate, and its cities shall be demolished.

24 No one shall be left to cultivate the earth or to sow it.

25 The trees shall bear fruit, but who will gather it?

26 The grapes shall ripen, but who will tread them? For in all places there shall be great solitude;

27 a person will long to see another human being, or even to hear a human voice.
