2 Esdras 11:21
King James VersionSource notes
“For some of them were set up, but ruled not.”
Context
18Then arose the third, and reigned as the other before, and appeared no more also.
19So went it with all the residue one after another, as that every one reigned, and then appeared no more.
20Then 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:
21For some of them were set up, but ruled not.
22After this I looked, and, behold, the twelve feathers appeared no more, nor the two little feathers:
23And there was no more upon the eagle’s body, but three heads that rested, and six little wings.
24Then 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.
