2 Esdras 14:18

18 For the truth is fled far away, and lying is hard at hand; for now hasteneth the vision to come, which thou hast seen."

2 Esdras 14:18 In-Context

16 For yet greater evils than those which thou hast seen happen shall be done hereafter.
17 For look how much the world shall be weaker through age; so much the more shall evils increase upon them that dwell therein.
18 For the truth is fled far away, and lying is hard at hand; for now hasteneth the vision to come, which thou hast seen."
19 Then answered I before Thee and said,
20 "Behold, Lord, I will go, as Thou hast commanded me, and reprove the people who are present; but those who shall be born afterward, who shall admonish them? Thus the world is set in darkness, and those who dwell therein are without light.
