2 Esdras 11:23-33

23 and there was nothing more upon the eagle's body but three heads that rested and six little wings.
24 Then saw I also that two little feathers divided themselves from the six, and remained under the head that was upon the right side; for the four continued in their place.
25 And I beheld, and lo, the feathers that were under the wing thought to set up themselves and to have the rule.
26 And I beheld, and lo, there was one set up, but shortly it appeared no more.
27 And the second was sooner away than the first.
28 And I beheld, and lo, the two that remained thought also in themselves to reign;
29 and when they so thought, behold, there awoke one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst, for that was greater than the two other heads.
30 And then I saw that the two other heads were joined with it.
31 And behold, the head was turned with them that were with it, and ate up the two feathers under the wing that would have reigned.
32 But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bore rule in it over all those that dwelt upon the earth, with much oppression; and it had the governance of the world more than all the wings that had been.
33 And after this I beheld, and lo, the head that was in the midst suddenly appeared no more, as the wings.
