28
And I looked, and behold, the two that remained were planning between themselves to reign together;
29
and while they were planning, behold, one of the heads that were at rest (the one which was in the middle) awoke; for it was greater than the other two heads.
30
And I saw how it allied the two heads with itself,
31
and behold, the head turned with those that were with it, and it devoured the two little wings which were planning to reign.
32
Moreover this head gained control of the whole earth, and with much oppression dominated its inhabitants; and it had greater power over the world than all the wings that had gone before.
