Daniel 8:1 In the third7969 year8141 of the reign4438 of king4428 Belshazzar1112 a vision2377 appeared7200 to me, even to me, Daniel,1840 after310 that which appeared7200 to me at the first.84622 I saw7200 in the vision;2377 now it was so, that when I saw,7200 I was in the citadel1002 of Susa,7800 which is in the province4082 of Elam;5867 and I saw7200 in the vision,2377 and I was by the river180 Ulai.1953 Then I lifted up5375 my eyes,5869 and saw,7200 and behold, there stood5975 before6440 the river180 a259 ram352 which had two horns:7161 and the two horns7161 were high;1364 but one259 was higher1364 than the other,8145 and the higher1364 came up5927 last.3144 I saw7200 the ram352 pushing5055 westward,3220 and northward,6828 and southward;5045 and no animals2416 could stand5975 before6440 him, neither was there any who could deliver5337 out of his hand;3027 but he did6213 according to his will,7522 and magnified1431 himself.
5 As I was considering,995 behold, a male5795 goat6842 came935 from the west4628 over the surface6440 of the whole earth,776 and didn't touch5060 the ground:776 and the goat6842 had a notable2380 horn7161 between his eyes.58696 He came935 to the ram352 that had1167 the two horns,7161 which I saw7200 standing5975 before6440 the river,180 and ran7323 on him in the fury2534 of his power.35817 I saw7200 him come5060 close to681 the ram,352 and he was moved with anger4843 against him, and struck5221 the ram,352 and broke7665 his two8147 horns;7161 and there was no power3581 in the ram352 to stand5975 before6440 him; but he cast him down7993 to the ground,776 and trampled7429 on him; and there was none who could deliver5337 the ram352 out of his hand.30278 The male6842 goat5795 magnified1431 himself exceedingly:3966 and when he6842 was strong,6105 the great1431 horn7161 was broken;7665 and instead of it there came up5927 four702 notable horns toward the four702 winds7307 of the sky.80649 Out of one259 of them came forth3318 a little4704 horn,7161 which grew exceeding3499 great,1431 toward the south,5045 and toward the east,4217 and toward the glorious6643land.
10 It grew great,1431 even to the army6635 of the sky;8064 and some of the army6635 and of the stars3556 it cast down5307 to the ground,776 and trampled7429 on them.
11 Yes, it magnified1431 itself, even to the prince8269 of the army;6635 and it took away7311 from him the continual8548burnt offering, and the place4349 of his sanctuary4720 was cast down.799312 The army6635 was given5414 over to it together with the continual8548burnt offering through disobedience;6588 and it cast down7993 truth571 to the ground,776 and it did its pleasure6213 and prospered.674313 Then I heard8085 a259 holy one6918 speaking;1696 and another259 holy one259 said559 to that certain6422 one who spoke,1696 How long shall be the vision2377concerning the continual8548burnt offering, and the disobedience6588 that makes desolate,8074 to give5414 both the sanctuary6944 and the army6635 to be trodden under foot?482314 He said559 to me, To two thousand505 and three7969 hundred3967 evenings6153and mornings; then shall the sanctuary6944 be cleansed.666315 It happened, when I, even I Daniel,1840 had seen7200 the vision,2377 that I sought1245 to understand998 it; and behold, there stood5975 before me as the appearance4758 of a man.139716 I heard8085 a man's120 voice6963 between the banks of the Ulai,195 which called,7121 and said,559 Gabriel,1403 make this1975 man to understand995 the vision.475817 So he came935 near681 where I stood;5977 and when he came,935 I was frightened,1204 and fell5307 on my face:6440 but he said559 to me, Understand,995 son1121 of man;120 for the vision2377 belongs to the time6256 of the end.709318 Now as he was speaking1696 with me, I fell into a deep sleep7290 with my face6440 toward the ground;776 but he touched5060 me, and set5975 me upright.597719 He said,559 Behold, I will make you know3045 what shall be in the latter time319 of the indignation;2195 for it belongs to the appointed4150 time of the end.709320 The ram352 which you saw,7200 that had1167 the two horns,7161 they are the kings4428 of Media4074 and Persia.653921 The rough8163 male goat6842 is the king4428 of Greece:3120 and the great1419 horn7161 that is between his eyes5869 is the first7223 king.442822 As for that which was broken,7665 in the place where four702 stood up,5975 four702 kingdoms4438 shall stand up5975 out of the nation,1471 but not with his power.358123 In the latter time319 of their kingdom,4438 when the transgressors6586 have come to the full,8552 a king4428 of fierce5794 face,6440 and understanding995 dark sentences,2420 shall stand up.597524 His power3581 shall be mighty,6105 but not by his own power;3581 and he shall destroy7843 wonderfully,6381 and shall prosper6743 and do his pleasure;6213 and he shall destroy7843 the mighty6099 ones and the holy6918 people.597125 Through his policy7922 he shall cause craft4820 to prosper6743 in his hand;3027 and he shall magnify1431 himself in his heart,3824 and in their security7962 shall he destroy7843 many:7227 he shall also stand up5975 against the prince8269 of princes;8269 but he shall be broken7665 without657 hand.302726 The vision4758 of the evenings6153 and mornings1242 which has been told559 is true:571 but seal up5640 the vision;2377 for it belongs to many7227 days3117to come.
27 I, Daniel,1840 fainted,1961 and was sick2470 certain days;3117 then I rose up,6965 and did6213 the king's4428 business:4399 and I wondered8074 at the vision,4758 but none understood995 it.
