2 Esdras 16:25
King James VersionSource notes
“The trees shall give fruit, and who shall gather them?”
Context
22For many of them that dwell upon earth shall perish of famine; and the other, that escape the hunger, shall the sword destroy.
23And the dead shall be cast out as dung, and there shall be no man to comfort them: for the earth shall be wasted, and the cities shall be cast down.
24There shall be no man left to till the earth, and to sow it
25The trees shall give fruit, and who shall gather them?
26The grapes shall ripen, and who shall tread them? for all places shall be desolate of men:
27So that one man shall desire to see another, and to hear his voice.
28For of a city there shall be ten left, and two of the field, which shall hide themselves in the thick groves, and in the clefts of the rocks.
