2 Esdras 16:46

46 for strangers shall gather their fruits, and plunder their goods, and overthrow their houses, and take their children captive; for in captivity and famine they will beget their children.

2 Esdras 16:46 In-Context

44 them that marry, like those who will have no children; and them that do not marry, like those who are widowed.

45 Because those who labor, labor in vain;

46 for strangers shall gather their fruits, and plunder their goods, and overthrow their houses, and take their children captive; for in captivity and famine they will beget their children.

47 Those who conduct business, do it only to be plundered; the more they adorn their cities, their houses and possessions, and their persons,

48 the more angry I will be with them for their sins," says the Lord.
