2 Esdras 12:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ This then is the interpretation of the twelve wings that you saw. ¹⁷ As for the fact that you heard a voice that spoke, coming not from its heads but from the middle of its body, ¹⁸ this is the interpretation: In the midst of this kingdom’s time, great conflicts will arise. It will be in danger of falling; it won’t fall then but will be restored again to its beginning.
