2 Esdras 5:9
King James VersionSource notes
“And salt waters shall be found in the sweet, and all friends shall destroy one another; then shall wit hide itself, and understanding withdraw itself into his secret chamber,”
Context
6And even he shall rule, whom they look not for that dwell upon the earth, and the fowls shall take their flight away together:
7And the Sodomitish sea shall cast out fish, and make a noise in the night, which many have not known: but they shall all hear the voice thereof.
8There shall be a confusion also in many places, and the fire shall be oft sent out again, and the wild beasts shall change their places, and menstruous women shall bring forth monsters:
9And salt waters shall be found in the sweet, and all friends shall destroy one another; then shall wit hide itself, and understanding withdraw itself into his secret chamber,
10And shall be sought of many, and yet not be found: then shall unrighteousness and incontinency be multiplied upon earth.
11One land also shall ask another, and say, Is righteousness that maketh a man righteous gone through thee? And it shall say, No.
12At the same time shall men hope, but nothing obtain: they shall labour, but their ways shall not prosper.
