50
For now the most High seeth that thou art grieved unfeignedly, and sufferest from thy whole
heart for her, so hath he shewed thee the brightness of her glory, and the comeliness of her beauty:
51
And therefore I bade thee remain in the field where no house was builded:
52
For I knew that the Highest would shew this unto thee.
53
Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, where no foundation of any building was.
54
For in the place wherein the Highest beginneth to shew his city, there can no man's building
be able to stand.
55
And therefore fear not, let not thine heart be affrighted, but go thy way in, and see the beauty
and greatness of the building, as much as thine eyes be able to see:
56
And then shalt thou hear as much as thine ears may comprehend.
57
For thou art blessed above many other, and art called with the Highest; and so are but few.
58
But to morrow at night thou shalt remain here;
59
And so shall the Highest shew thee visions of the high things, which the most High will do
unto them that dwell upon the earth in the last days. So I slept that night and another, like as he
commanded me.
CHAPTER ESDRAS 11
Then saw I a dream, and, behold, there came up from the sea an eagle, which had twelve feathered
wings, and three heads.
2
And I saw, and, behold, she spread her wings over all the earth, and all the winds of the air
blew on her, and were gathered together.
3
And I beheld, and out of her feathers there grew other contrary feathers; and they became little
feathers and small.
4
But her heads were at rest: the head in the midst was greater than the other, yet rested it with
the residue.
5
Moreover I beheld, and, lo, the eagle flew with her feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over
them that dwelt therein.
6
And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto her, and no man spake against her,
no, not one creature upon earth.
7
And I beheld, and, lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and spake to her feathers, saying,
8
Watch not all at once: sleep every one in his own place, and watch by course:
9
But let the heads be preserved for the last.
10
And I beheld, and, lo, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.
11
And I numbered her contrary feathers, and, behold, there were eight of them.
12
And I looked, and, behold, on the right side there arose one feather, and reigned over all the
earth;
