2 Esdras 11:40

40 You, the fourth that has come, conquered all the beasts that came before you, ruling over the world with much terror and over the whole world with harsh oppression. You have lived in the world with deceit for so long!

2 Esdras 11:40 In-Context

38 "Listen, you, and I will speak to you. The Most High says to you,

39 ‘Aren't you the last of the four beasts that I made to rule in my world so that I might bring about the end of my times through them?

40 You, the fourth that has come, conquered all the beasts that came before you, ruling over the world with much terror and over the whole world with harsh oppression. You have lived in the world with deceit for so long!

41 You judged the earth, but not in truth,

42 for you have oppressed the meek and injured those who caused no unrest. You hated those who spoke the truth and loved liars. You destroyed the dwellings of those who bore fruit and tore down the walls of those who had done you no harm.
