21 for some of them were set up, but ruled not.

2 Esdras 11:21 In-Context

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

20 Then I beheld, and lo, in process of time the feathers that followed stood up upon the right side, that they might rule also. And some of them ruled, but within a while they appeared no more;

21 for some of them were set up, but ruled not.

22 After this I looked, and behold, the twelve feathers appeared no more, nor the two little feathers;

23 and there was nothing more upon the eagle's body but three heads that rested and six little wings.
