2 Esdras 11:9

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

2 Esdras 11:9 In-Context

7 And I looked, and behold, the eagle rose upon his talons, and uttered a cry to his wings, saying,
8 "Do not all watch at the same time; let each sleep in his own place, and watch in his turn;
9 but let the heads be reserved for the last."
10 And I looked, and behold, the voice did not come from his heads, but from the midst of his body.
11 And I counted his opposing wings, and behold, there were eight of them.
