2 Esdras 15:27-34 World English Bible (WEB)

27. For now are the evils come upon the whole earth, and you⌃ shall remain in them: for God shall not deliver you, because you⌃ have sinned against him.

28. Behold, a vision horrible, and the appearance thereof from the east!

29. And the nations of the dragons of Arabia shall come out with many chariots, and from the day that they set forth the hissing of them is carried over the earth, so that all they which shall hear them may fear also and tremble.

30. Also the Carmonians raging in wrath shall go forth as the wild boars of the wood, and with great power shall they come, and join battle with them, and shall waste a portion of the land of the Assyrians with their teeth.

31. And then shall the dragons have the upper hand, remembering their nature; and if they shall turn themselves, conspiring together in great power to persecute them,

32. then these shall be troubled, and keep silence through their power, and shall turn and flee.

33. And from the land of the Assyrians shall the lier in wait besiege them, and consume one of them, and upon their host shall be fear and trembling, and sedition against their kings.

34. Behold, clouds from the east and from the north to the south, and they are very horrible to look upon, full of wrath and storm.
