2 Esdras 11:16

16 "Listen, you who have held sway over the earth all this time. I announce this to you before you begin to disappear.

2 Esdras 11:16 In-Context

14 While it was exercising its rule, it came to its end, so that it disappeared like the previous one.

15 Then a voice rang out, saying to this wing,

16 "Listen, you who have held sway over the earth all this time. I announce this to you before you begin to disappear.

17 No one after you will hold sway as long a time—not even half as long."

18 A third wing raised itself up, and it also exercised rulership like the previous ones, and it too disappeared.
