2esd 11:39
King James Version
“Art not thou it that remainest of the four beasts, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of their times might come through them?”
Context
36Then I head a voice, which said unto me, Look before thee, and consider the thing that thou seest.
37And I beheld, and lo, as it were a roaring lion chased out of the wood: and I saw that he sent out a man’s voice unto the eagle, and said,
38Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Highest shall say unto thee,
39Art not thou it that remainest of the four beasts, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of their times might come through them?
40And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and had power over the world with great fearfulness, and over the whole compass of the earth with much wicked oppression; and so long time dwelt he upon the earth with deceit.
41For the earth hast thou not judged with truth.
42For thou hast afflicted the meek, thou hast hurt the peaceable, thou hast loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and hast cast down the walls of such as did thee no harm.
