2esd 5:3

“And the land, that thou seest now to have root, shalt thou see wasted suddenly.”
Context
1Nevertheless as coming the tokens, behold, the days shall come, that they which dwell upon earth shall be taken in a great number, and the way of truth shall be hidden, and the land shall be barren of faith.
2But iniquity shall be increased above that which now thou seest, or that thou hast heard long ago.
3And the land, that thou seest now to have root, shalt thou see wasted suddenly.
4But if the most High grant thee to live, thou shalt see after the third trumpet that the sun shall suddenly shine again in the night, and the moon thrice in the day:
5And blood shall drop out of wood, and the stone shall give his voice, and the people shall be troubled:
6And even he shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away together:
