2 Esdras 11:32

32 Moreover this head gained control of the whole earth, and with much oppression dominated its inhabitants; it had greater power over the world than all the wings that had gone before.

2 Esdras 11:32 In-Context

30 And I saw how it allied the two heads with itself,
31 and how the head turned with those that were with it and devoured the two little wings that were planning to reign.
32 Moreover this head gained control of the whole earth, and with much oppression dominated its inhabitants; it had greater power over the world than all the wings that had gone before.
33 After this I looked again and saw the head in the middle suddenly disappear, just as the wings had done.
34 But the two heads remained, which also in like manner ruled over the earth and its inhabitants.
