2 Esdras 5:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ Salt waters will be found in sources of freshwater. Friends everywhere will begin to fight each other. Reason will be hidden, and intelligence will go into hiding. ¹⁰ Many will look for it, but they won’t find it, and injustice and lust will be multiplied on earth. ¹¹ One country will ask its neighbor, ‘Has justice passed through you, doing what is right?’ and the answer will be no.
