Daniel 8:3-13
3Then I liftedH5375 up mine eyesH5869, and sawH7200, and, behold, there stoodH5975 before the river a ramH352 which had two hornsH7161: and the two hornsH7161 were highH1364; but oneH259 was higherH1364 than the other, and the higherH1364 cameH5927 up lastH314. 4I sawH7200 the ramH352 pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could standH5975 before him, neither was there any that could deliverH5337 out of his handH3027; but he did according to his will, and magnifiedH1431 himself.
5And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat cameH935 from the westH4628 over the faceH6440 of the whole earthH776, and touchedH5060 not the groundH776: and the goatH5795 had a notable hornH7161 between his eyesH5869. 6And he cameH935 to the ramH352 that had the two hornsH7161, which I sawH7200 standingH5975 before the river, and ranH7323 upon him in the fury of his powerH3581. 7And I sawH7200 him come close unto the ramH352, and he wasH1961 moved with anger against him, and smote the ramH352, and brake his twoH8147 hornsH7161; and there wasH1961 no power in the ramH352 to standH5975 before him; but he castH7993 him downH5221 to the groundH776, and trampledH7429 upon him; and there wasH1961 none that could deliverH5337 the ramH352 out of his handH3027. 8And the he-goat magnifiedH1431 himself exceedinglyH3966: and when he was strong, the greatH1419 hornH7161 was brokenH7665; and instead of it there cameH5927 up fourH702 notable hornsH7161 toward the fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064.
9And out of oneH259 of them cameH3318 forthH3318 a little hornH7161, which waxed exceeding greatH1431, toward the southH5045, and toward the eastH4217, and toward the glorious land. 10And it waxed greatH1431, even to the hostH6635 of heavenH8064; and some of the hostH6635 and of the starsH3556 it castH5307 downH5307 to the groundH776, and trampledH7429 upon them. 11Yea, it magnifiedH1431 itself, even to the princeH8269 of the hostH6635; and it tookH7311 awayH7993 from him the continual burnt-offering, and the placeH4349 of his sanctuaryH4720 was castH7993 downH7993. 12And the hostH6635 was givenH5414 over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgressionH6588; and it castH7993 downH7993 truthH571 to the groundH776, and it did its pleasure and prospered. 13Then I heardH8085 a holyH6944 oneH259 speakingH1696; and another holyH6944 oneH259 saidH559 unto that certain oneH259 who spake, How long shall be the visionH2377 concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgressionH6588 that maketh desolateH8074, to giveH5414 both the sanctuaryH6944 and the hostH6635 to be trodden under foot?
