2 Esdras 16:32-34

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³² The earth shall be left desolate, and its fields shall be ploughed up,^[a] and its roads and all its paths shall bring forth thorns, because no sheep will go along them. ³³ Virgins shall mourn because they have no bridegrooms; women shall mourn because they have no husbands; their daughters shall mourn, because they have no help. ³⁴ Their bridegrooms shall be killed in war, and their husbands shall perish of famine.
