2 Esdras 15:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ Someone will want to go into the city and won’t be able. ¹⁸ Cities will be thrown into confusion because of their pride. Houses will be destroyed;^[a] people will be afraid. ¹⁹ People will have no mercy on their neighbors. They will cause their neighbors trouble by breaking into their houses with swords, to pillage their property, because they are hungry for bread and in great distress.
