12And I looked, and, behold, on the right side there arose one feather, and reigned over all the earth;
13And 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;
14And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more.
15Then came there a voice unto it, and said,
16Hear thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long: this I say unto thee, before thou beginnest to appear no more,
17There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof.
