2 Esdras 13:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁶ For as I consider it in my mind, alas for those who will be left in those days! And still more, alas for those who are not left! ¹⁷ For those who are not left will be sad ¹⁸ because they understand the things that are reserved for the last days, but cannot attain them.
