2 Esdras 6:17 Context
15And therefore when it speaketh be not afraid: for the word is of the end, and the foundation of the earth is vnderstood. 16And why? because the speech of these things trembleth and is mooued: for it knoweth that the ende of these things must be changed. 17And it happened that when I had heard it, I stood vp vpon my feet, and hearkened, & behold, there was a voice that spake, and the sound of it was like the sound of many waters. 18And it said, Behold, the dayes come, that I will begin to draw nigh, and to visit them that dwell vpon the earth, 19And will begin to make inquisition of them, what they be that haue hurt vniustly with their vnrighteousnesse, and when the affliction of Sion shalbe fulfilled.
