2 Esdras 12:2

2 and saw that the head that had prevailed disappeared, and the two wings that had gone over to it rose up so that they might rule, but their rule was weak and chaotic.

2 Esdras 12:2 In-Context

1 While the lion was saying these words to the eagle, I looked
2 and saw that the head that had prevailed disappeared, and the two wings that had gone over to it rose up so that they might rule, but their rule was weak and chaotic.
3 I watched as they disappeared, and the whole body of the eagle was burned; the earth was filled with fear. I woke up because my mind was racing and full of fear. I said to myself,
4 Look, you've brought all this on yourself with your probing into the ways of the Most High.
5 Look here! I'm emotionally exhausted and barely alive. I don't have even a little strength left in me because of the great fear that has shaken me this night.
