32. But this head held the whole earth in possession, and bare rule over those that dwell therein with much oppression; and it had the governance of the world more than all the wings that had been.
33. And after this I saw, and, behold, the head also that was in the midst suddenly appeared no more, like as the wings.
34. But there remained the two heads, which also in like sort reigned over the earth, and over those that dwell therein.
35. And I saw, and, behold, the head upon the right side devoured it that was upon the left side.
36. Then I heard a voice, which said to me, Look before you, and consider the thing that you see.
37. And I saw, and, behold, as it were a lion roused out of the wood roaring: and I heard how that he sent out a man’s voice to the eagle, and spoke, saying,
38. Hear you, I will talk with you, and the Most High shall say to you,
39. Are not you it that remain of the four beasts, whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of my times might come through them?
40. And the fourth came, and overcame all the beasts that were past, and held the world in governance with great trembling, and the whole compass of the earth with grievous oppression; and so long time lived he upon the earth with deceit.
41. And you have judged the earth, but not with truth.
42. For you have afflicted the meek, you have hurt the peaceful, you have hated them that speak truth, you have loved liars, and destroyed the dwellings of them that brought forth fruit, and cast down the walls of such as did you no harm.
43. Therefore is your insolent dealing come up to the Most High, and your pride to the Mighty.
44. The Most High also has looked upon his times, and, behold, they are ended, and his ages are fulfilled.
