2 Esdras 5:3-5

Revised Standard Version

³And the land which you now see ruling shall be waste and untrodden,^[a] and men shall see it desolate. ⁴But if the Most High grants that you live, you shall see it thrown into confusion after the third period;^[b]

and the sun shall suddenly shine forth at night,
    and the moon during the day.
⁵Blood shall drip from wood,
    and the stone shall utter its voice;
the peoples shall be troubled,
    and the stars shall fall.^[c]
