2 Esdras 16:43-47 World English Bible (WEB)

43. he that sows, as if he should not reap: so also he that pruneth the vines, as he that shall not gather the grapes:

44. they that marry, as they that shall get no children; and they that marry not, as the widowed.

45. Inasmuch as they that labor labor in vain;

46. for strangers shall reap their fruits, and spoil their goods, overthrow their houses, and take their children captive, for in captivity and famine shall they beget their children:

47. and they that traffick traffick to become a spoil: the more they deck their cities, their houses, their possessions, and their own persons,
