2 Esdras 16:31

31 even so in those days there shall be three or four left by them that search their houses with the sword.

2 Esdras 16:31 In-Context

29 As in an orchard of olives upon every tree there are left three or four olives,

30 or as when a vineyard is gathered, there are left some clusters by them that diligently seek through the vineyard,

31 even so in those days there shall be three or four left by them that search their houses with the sword.

32 And the earth shall be laid waste, and the fields thereof shall wax old, and her ways and all her paths shall grow full of thorns, because no man shall travel therethrough.

33 The virgins shall mourn, having no bridegrooms; the women shall mourn, having no husbands; their daughters shall mourn, having no helpers.
