Esther A:3–10

and he was of the captivity, which Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon carried from Jerusalem with Jechonias, the king of Judaea.

And this was his dream; and behold noise and tumult, thunderings and earthquake, confusion upon the earth.

And, behold, two great dragons came forth, both of them ready to fight, and their cry was great.

And at their cry every nation made itself ready for war, to make war upon a nation of righteous men.

And behold a day of darkness and of gloom; tribulation and anguish; affliction and great confusion upon the earth.

And the whole righteous nation was troubled, fearing the evils that threatened them, and they made ready to perish.

And they cried unto God; and from their cry, as it were from a small spring, there came up a great river, even much water.

A light and the sun rose, and the humble were exalted and consumed the glorious.
