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.
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.
