2 Esdras 15:1-6

1 Speak in the ears of my people the words of the prophecy that I will put in your mouth, says the Lord,

2 and cause them to be written on paper; for they are trustworthy and true.

3 Do not fear the plots against you, and do not be troubled by the unbelief of those who oppose you.

4 For all unbelievers shall die in their unbelief.

5 Beware, says the Lord, I am bringing evils upon the world, the sword and famine, death and destruction,

6 because iniquity has spread throughout every land, and their harmful doings have reached their limit.
