Daniel 7:2-14
2DanielH1841 spake and saidH560, I sawH2370 in my visionH2376 by nightH3916, and, behold, the fourH703 winds of heavenH8065 brake forth upon the greatH7229 seaH3221. 3And fourH703 greatH7260 beastsH2423 came up from the seaH3221, diverse oneH1668 from another. 4The first was like a lionH744, and had eagle’s wingsH1611: I beheld till the wingsH1611 thereof were plucked, and it was liftedH5191 up from the earthH772, and made to standH6966 upon two feet as a manH606; and a man’sH606 heartH3825 was given to it. 5And, behold, another beastH2423, a second, likeH1821 to a bear; and it was raised up on oneH2298 side, and threeH8532 ribs were in its mouthH6433 between its teeth: and they saidH560 thus unto it, AriseH6966, devourH399 much flesh. 6After this I beheld, and, lo, another, like a leopard, which had upon its back fourH703 wingsH1611 of a birdH5776; the beastH2423 had also fourH703 headsH7217; and dominionH7985 was given to it. 7After this I sawH2370 in the night-visions, and, behold, a fourthH7244 beastH2423, terrible and powerful, and strongH8624 exceedinglyH3493; and it had greatH7260 ironH6523 teeth; it devouredH399 and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet: and it was diverse from all the beastsH2423 that were before it; and it had tenH6236 hornsH7162. 8I considered the hornsH7162, and, behold, there came up among them another hornH7162, a little oneH1668, before which threeH8532 of the first hornsH7162 were plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this hornH7162 were eyesH5870 like the eyesH5870 of a manH606, and a mouthH6433 speakingH4449 greatH7260 things.
9I beheld till thronesH3764 were placed, and one that was ancientH6268 of daysH3118 did sit: his raiment was white as snow, and the hairH8177 of his headH7217 like pure wool; his throneH3764 was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof burning fireH5135. 10A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousandsH506 of thousandsH506 ministered unto him, and ten thousandH506 times ten thousandH506 stoodH6966 before him: the judgment was setH6966, and the booksH5609 were openedH6606. 11I beheld at that time because of the voiceH7032 of the greatH7260 wordsH4406 which the hornH7162 spake; I beheld even till the beastH2423 was slain, and its bodyH1655 destroyedH7, and it was given to be burned with fire. 12And as for the restH7606 of the beastsH2423, their dominionH7985 was taken awayH5709: yet their lives were prolongedH754 for a season and a timeH5732.
13I sawH2370 in the night-visions, and, behold, there cameH858 with the clouds of heavenH8065 one like unto a sonH1247 of manH606, and he cameH858 even to the ancientH6268 of daysH3118, and they broughtH858 him near before him. 14And there was given him dominionH7985, and glory, and a kingdomH4437, that all the peoplesH5972, nationsH524, and languages should serve him: his dominionH7985 is an everlasting dominionH7985, which shall not passH5709 awayH5709, and his kingdomH4437 that which shall not be destroyedH2255.
