2 Esdras 11:8 In-Context

6 And I saw how all things under heaven were subjected to it, and no one spoke against it—not a single creature that was on the earth.

7 Then I saw the eagle rise upon its talons, and it uttered a cry to its wings, saying,

8 "Do not all watch at the same time; let each sleep in its own place, and watch in its turn;

9 but let the heads be reserved for the last."

10 I looked again and saw that the voice did not come from its heads, but from the middle of its body.
