2 Esdras 11:17-19

Revised Standard Version

¹⁷ After you no one shall rule as long as you, or even half as long.”

¹⁸ Then the third wing raised itself up, and held the rule like the former ones, and it also disappeared. ¹⁹ And so it went with all the wings; they wielded power one after another and then were never seen again.
