15 Then came there a voice unto it, and said,

2 Esdras 11:15 In-Context

13 And so it was, that when it reigned, the end of it came, and the place thereof appeared no more: so the next following stood up. and reigned, and had a great time;

14 And it happened, that when it reigned, the end of it came also, like as the first, so that it appeared no more.

17 There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof.
