2 Esdras 15:55-63 World English Bible (WEB)

55. The reward of a harlot shall be in your bosom, therefore shall you receive recompense.

56. Like as you shall do to my chosen, says the Lord, even so shall God do to you, and shall deliver you into mischief.

57. And your children shall die of hunger, and you shall fall by the sword: and your cities shall be broken down, and all your shall perish by the sword in the field.

58. And they that be in the mountains shall die of hunger, and eat their own flesh, and drink their own blood, for very hunger of bread, and thirst of water.

59. You unhappy above all shall come and shall again receive evils.

60. And in the passage they shall rush on the idle city, and shall destroy some portion of your land, and mar part of your glory, and shall return again to Babylon that was destroyed.

61. And you shall be cast down by them as stubble, and they shall be to you as fire;

62. and shall devour you, and your cities, your land, and your mountains; all your woods and your fruitful trees shall they burn up with fire.

63. They shall carry your children away captive, and shall spoil your wealth, and mar the glory of your face.
