25
And I looked, and behold, these little wings planned to set themselves up and hold the rule.
26
And I looked, and behold, one was set up, but suddenly disappeared;
27
a second also, and this disappeared more quickly than the first.
28
And I looked, and behold, the two that remained were planning between themselves to reign together;
29
and while they were planning, behold, one of the heads that were at rest (the one which was in the middle) awoke; for it was greater than the other two heads.
30
And I saw how it allied the two heads with itself,
31
and behold, the head turned with those that were with it, and it devoured the two little wings which were planning to reign.
32
Moreover this head gained control of the whole earth, and with much oppression dominated its inhabitants; and it had greater power over the world than all the wings that had gone before.
33
And after this I looked, and behold, the middle head also suddenly disappeared, just as the wings had done.
34
But the two heads remained, which also ruled over the earth and its inhabitants.
35
And I looked, and behold, the head on the right side devoured the one on the left.
