2 Esdras 16:40 Context
38As when a woman with childe in the ninth month bringeth forth her son, within two or three houres of her birth great paines compasse her wombe, which paines, when the child commeth forth, they slacke not a moment, 39Euen so shall not the plagues bee slacke to come vpon the earth, and the world shall mourne, and sorrowes shal come vpon it on euery side. 40O my people, Heare my word: make you ready to the battell, and in those euils, be euen as pilgrimes vpon the earth. 41He that selleth let him be as hee that fleeth away: and he that buyeth, as one that will loose. 42He that occupieth merchandize, as he that had no profit by it: and he that buildeth, as hee that shall not dwell therein.
