Daniel 8:3-9

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.
