13
And so it was, that when it reigned, the end of it came, and the place thereof appeared no
more: so the next following stood up. and reigned, and had a great time;
14
And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it
appeared no more.
15
Then came there a voice unto it, and said,
16
Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long: this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest
to appear no more,
17
There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof.
18
Then arose the third, and reigned as the other before, and appeared no more also.
19
So went it with all the residue one after another, as that every one reigned, and then appeared
no more.
20
Then I beheld, and, lo, in process of time the feathers that followed stood up upon the right
side, that they might rule also; and some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more:
21
For some of them were set up, but ruled not.
22
After this I looked, and, behold, the twelve feathers appeared no more, nor the two little
feathers:
23
And there was no more upon the eagle's body, but three heads that rested, and six little wings.
24
Then saw I also that two little feathers divided themselves from the six, and remained under
the head that was upon the right side: for the four continued in their place.
25
And I beheld, and, lo, the feathers that were under the wing thought to set up themselves and
to have the rule.
26
And I beheld, and, lo, there was one set up, but shortly it appeared no more.
27
And the second was sooner away than the first.
28
And I beheld, and, lo, the two that remained thought also in themselves to reign:
29
And when they so thought, behold, there awaked one of the heads that were at rest, namely,
it that was in the midst; for that was greater than the two other heads.
30
And then I saw that the two other heads were joined with it.
31
And, behold, the head was turned with them that were with it, and did eat up the two feathers
under the wing that would have reigned.
32
But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bare rule in it over all those that dwelt upon the
earth with much oppression; and it had the governance of the world more than all the wings that
had been.
33
And after this I beheld, and, lo, the head that was in the midst suddenly appeared no more,
like as the wings.
34
But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort ruled upon the earth, and over those
that dwelt therein.
35
And I beheld, and, lo, the head upon the right side devoured it that was upon the left side.
