Apocalypse of Abraham30

^1•But while He was still speaking, I found myself upon the earth. And I said: “O Eternal, Mighty One, I am no longer in the glory in which I was while on high, and what my soul longed to understand in mine heart I do not understand.” ^2•And He said to me: “What is desired in thine heart I will tell thee, because thou hast sought to see the ten plagues which I have prepared for the heathen, and have prepared beforehand at the passing over of the twelfth hour of the earth. ^3•Hear what I divulge to thee, so shall it come to pass: ^4•the first is pain of great distress; the second, conflagration of many cities; ^5•the third, destruction and pestilence of animals; the fourth, hunger of the whole world and of its people; ^6•the fifth by destruction among its rulers, destruction by earthquake and the sword; the sixth, multiplication of hail and snow; the seventh, the wild beasts will be their grave; ^7•the eighth, hunger and pestilence will alternate with their destruction; ^8•the ninth, punishment by the sword and flight in distress; the tenth, thunder and voices and destructive earthquake.
