2 Esdras 16:69-74 World English Bible (WEB)

69. And they that consent to them shall be had in derision and in reproach, and be trodden under foot of them.

70. For there shall be in various places, and in the next cities, a great insurrection upon those that fear the Lord.

71. They shall be like mad men, sparing none, but spoiling and destroying them that still fear the Lord.

72. For they shall waste and take away their goods, and cast them out of their houses.

73. Then shall be manifest the trial of mine elect; even as the gold that is tried in the fire.

74. Hear, O you⌃ mine elect, says the Lord: behold, the days of tribulation are at hand, and I will deliver you from them.
