27 And the second was sooner away than the first.

2 Esdras 11:27 In-Context

25 And I beheld, and lo, the feathers that were under the wing thought to set up themselves and to have the rule.

26 And I beheld, and lo, there was one set up, but shortly it appeared no more.

27 And the second was sooner away than the first.

28 And I beheld, and lo, the two that remained thought also in themselves to reign;

29 and when they so thought, behold, there awoke one of the heads that were at rest, namely, it that was in the midst, for that was greater than the two other heads.
