5
Lo, yet am I weary in my mind and very weak in my spirit; and little strength is there in me because of the great fear wherewith I was afflicted this night.
6
Therefore will I now beseech the Highest, that He will comfort me unto the end."
7
And I said, "Lord who bearest rule, if I have found grace before Thy sight, and if I am justified with Thee before many others, and if my prayer indeed has come up before Thy face,
8
comfort me then and show me, Thy servant, the interpretation and plain meaning of this fearful vision, that Thou mayest perfectly comfort my soul.
9
For Thou hast judged me worthy to show me the last times."
10
And He said unto me, "This is the interpretation of the vision:
11
the eagle whom thou sawest come up from the sea is the kingdom which was seen in the vision of thy brother Daniel.
12
But it was not expounded unto him; therefore now I declare it unto thee.
13
Behold, the days will come that there shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be feared above all the kingdoms that were before it.
14
In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another,
15
whereof the second shall begin to reign and shall have more time than any of the twelve.
