2 Esdras 5:1 In-Context

1 "Nevertheless concerning the tokens: Behold, the days shall come that those who dwell upon earth shall be taken in a great number, and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith.

2 But iniquity shall be increased above that which now thou seest or that thou hast heard long ago.

3 And the land that thou seest now to have root shalt thou see wasted suddenly.

4 But if the Most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and the moon thrice in the day;

5 and blood shall drop out of wood, and the stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be troubled.
