2 Esdras 11:17

17 There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof."

2 Esdras 11:17 In-Context

15 Then came there a voice unto it and said,

16 "Hear, thou that hast borne rule over the earth so long. This I say unto thee before thou beginnest to appear no more:

17 There shall none after thee attain unto thy time, neither unto the half thereof."

18 Then arose the third, and reigned as the others before, and appeared no more also.

19 So went it with all the residue one after another, as every one reigned and then appeared no more.
