2 Esdras 11:8
King James VersionSource notes
“Watch not all at once: sleep every one in his own place, and watch by course:”
Context
5Moreover I beheld, and, lo, the eagle flew with her feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that dwelt therein.
6And I saw that all things under heaven were subject unto her, and no man spake against her, no, not one creature upon earth.
7And I beheld, and, lo, the eagle rose upon her talons, and spake to her feathers, saying,
8Watch not all at once: sleep every one in his own place, and watch by course:
9But let the heads be preserved for the last.
10And I beheld, and, lo, the voice went not out of her heads, but from the midst of her body.
11And I numbered her contrary feathers, and, behold, there were eight of them.
