2 Esdras 13:9
King James VersionSource notes
“And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war:”
Context
6But I beheld, and, lo, he had graved himself a great mountain, and flew up upon it.
7But I would have seen the region or place whereout the hill was graven, and I could not.
8And after this I beheld, and, lo, all they which were gathered together to subdue him were sore afraid, and yet durst fight.
9And, lo, as he saw the violence of the multitude that came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held sword, nor any instrument of war:
10But only I saw that he sent out of his mouth as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, and out of his tongue he cast out sparks and tempests.
11And they were all mixed together; the blast of fire, the flaming breath, and the great tempest; and fell with violence upon the multitude which was prepared to fight, and burned them up every one, so that upon a sudden of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be perceived, but only dust and smell of smoke: when I saw this I was afraid.
12Afterward saw I the same man come down from the mountain, and call unto him another peaceable Multitude.
