2 Esdras 11:31
King James VersionSource notes
“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.”
Context
28And I beheld, and, lo, the two that remained thought also in themselves to reign:
29And 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.
30And then I saw that the two other heads were joined with it.
31And, 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.
32But 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.
33And after this I beheld, and, lo, the head that was in the midst suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings.
34But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort ruled upon the earth, and over those that dwelt therein.
