2 Esdras 6:20-29 World English Bible (WEB)

20. and when the seal shall be set upon the world that is to pass away, then will I show these tokens: the books shall be opened before the firmament, and all shall see together:

21. and the children of a year old shall speak with their voices, the women with child shall bring forth untimely children at three or four months, and they shall live, and dance.

22. And suddenly shall the sown places appear unsown, the full storehouses shall suddenly be found empty:

23. and the trumpet shall give a sound, which when every man hears, they shall be suddenly afraid.

24. At that time shall friends make war one against another like enemies, and the earth shall stand in fear with those that dwell therein, the springs of the fountains shall stand still, so that for three hours they shall not run.

25. And it shall be that whoever remains after all these things that I have told you of, he shall be saved, and shall see my salvation, and the end of my world.

26. And they shall see the men that have been taken up, who have not tasted death from their birth: and the heart of the inhabitants shall be changed, and turned into another meaning.

27. For evil shall be blotted out, and deceit shall be quenched;

28. and faith shall flourish, and corruption shall be overcome, and the truth, which has been so long without fruit, shall be declared.

29. And when he talked with me, behold, by little and little the place whereon I stood rocked to and fro.
