29
While they were making their plans, one of the sleeping heads suddenly awoke. It was the one in the middle, the one that was larger than the other two.
30
Then I saw that it was joined by the other heads,
31
and when it turned to eat up the two little wings that were planning to seize power, the other two heads helped it.
32
This head gained power over the whole world, established an oppressive rule over people everywhere, and exercised more power over the world than any of the other wings had done before.
33
Then, as I watched, the middle head disappeared just as suddenly as the wings had done.
