5. Behold, I am yet weary in my mind, and very weak in my spirit; nor is there the least strength in me, for the great fear wherewith I was affrighted this night.
6. Therefore will I now beseech the Most High, that he will strengthen me to the end.
7. And I said, O Lord that bear rule, if I have found favor in your sight, and if I am justified with you above many others, and if my prayer indeed be come up before your face;
8. strengthen me then, and show me your servant the interpretation and plain meaning of this fearful vision, that you may perfectly comfort my soul.
9. For you have judged me worthy to show me the end of time and the last times.
10. And he said to me, This is the interpretation of this vision which you saw:
11. The eagle, whom you saw come up from the sea, is the fourth kingdom which appeared in vision to your brother Daniel.
12. But it was not expounded to him, as I now expound it to you or have expounded it.
13. Behold, the days come, that there shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall be feared above all the kingdoms that were before it.
14. In the same shall twelve kings reign, one after another:
15. whereof the second shall begin to reign, and shall have a longer time than any of the twelve.
16. This is the interpretation of the twelve wings, which you saw.
17. And whereas you heard a voice which spoke, not going out from the heads, but from the midst of the body thereof, this is the interpretation:
18. That after the time of that kingdom there shall arise no small contentions, and it shall stand in peril of falling: nevertheless it shall not then fall, but shall be restored again to its first estate.
