2 Esdras 12:19-21

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁹ As for your seeing eight little wings^[a] clinging to its wings, this is the interpretation: ²⁰ Eight kings shall arise in it, whose times shall be short and their years swift; ²¹ two of them shall perish when the middle of its time draws near; and four shall be kept for the time when its end approaches, but two shall be kept until the end.
