2 Esdras 13:1-8 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

1. The seven days passed, and the following night I had a dream.

2. In my dream I saw a wind coming up out of the sea and stirring up great waves.

3. As I watched, the wind brought with it out of the sea what looked like a man, and he was flying on the clouds. When he turned his face, everything he looked at began to tremble,

4. and when he spoke, everyone who heard his voice melted like wax in a fire.

5. I looked again and saw a crowd too large to count. They were people gathered together from all parts of the world to fight against the man who had come up out of the sea.

6. Then I watched the man carve out a high mountain and fly up onto it.

7. I tried to see the place or the region from which the mountain was carved, but I couldn't.

8. Then I saw that all the people who had come together to make war against him were terrified, but they still prepared to fight him.
