2 Esdras 11:7

7 Then I saw the eagle stand up on its claws and say to its wings,

2 Esdras 11:7 In-Context

5 While I was watching, the eagle flew up in the air and became ruler of the whole earth and all its people.
6 I saw how everything on earth was brought under the eagle's control - no one on earth was able to oppose it.
7 Then I saw the eagle stand up on its claws and say to its wings,
8 "Not all of you are to wake up at the same time; you must sleep where you are and wake up when your turn comes,
9 and the heads must wake up last."
