12. A wing arose on the right side, and it ruled over the whole earth;
13. and while it was ruling, it came to an end and disappeared so that its place vanished. The next one rose up and ruled, and it held sway a long time.
14. While it was exercising its rule, it came to its end, so that it disappeared like the previous one.
15. Then a voice rang out, saying to this wing,
16. "Listen, you who have held sway over the earth all this time. I announce this to you before you begin to disappear.
17. No one after you will hold sway as long a time—not even half as long."
