2 Esdras 11:8

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,

2 Esdras 11:8 In-Context

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."

10 I looked again and saw that the voice was not coming from any of the eagle's heads but from the middle of its body.
