2 Esdras 12:1-4 World English Bible (WEB)

1. And it came to pass, whiles the lion spoke these words to the eagle, I saw,

2. and, behold, the head that remained appeared no more, and the two wings which went over to it arose and set themselves up to reign, and their kingdom was small, and full of uproar.

3. And I saw, and, behold, they appeared no more, and the whole body of the eagle was burned, so that the earth was in great fear: then awaked I by reason of great ecstasy of mind, and from great fear, and said to my spirit,

4. Behold, this have you done to me, in that you search out the ways of the Most High.
