2 Esdras 5:9-11

Revised Standard Version

⁹ And salt waters shall be found in the sweet, and all friends shall conquer one another; then shall reason hide itself, and wisdom shall withdraw into its chamber, ¹⁰ and it shall be sought by many but shall not be found, and unrighteousness and unrestraint shall increase on earth. ¹¹ And one country shall ask its neighbor, ‘Has righteousness, or any one who does right, passed through you?’ And it will answer, ‘No.’
