2 Esdras 12:24

24 and its inhabitants more oppressively than all who were before them. Therefore they are called the heads of the eagle,

2 Esdras 12:24 In-Context

22 "As for your seeing three heads at rest, this is the interpretation:

23 In its last days the Most High will raise up three kings, and they shall renew many things in it, and shall rule the earth

24 and its inhabitants more oppressively than all who were before them. Therefore they are called the heads of the eagle,

25 because it is they who shall sum up his wickedness and perform his last actions.

26 As for your seeing that the large head disappeared, one of the kings shall die in his bed, but in agonies.
