2 Esdras 16:41–44

^41dHe that selleth, let him be as he that fleeth away: and he that buyeth, as one that will lose: ⁴²he that ^eoccupieth merchandise, as he that hath no profit by it: and he that buildeth, as he that shall not dwell therein: ⁴³he that soweth, as if he should not reap: so also he that planteth the vineyard, as he that shall not gather the grapes: ⁴⁴they that marry, as they that shall get no children; and they that marry not, as the widowers.
