Daniel 7:2-8

2DanielH1841H560 declaredH6032: “In my visionH2376 inH5974 the nightH3916 IH1934 lookedH2370, and suddenlyH718 the fourH703 windsH7308 of heavenH8065 were churning upH1519 the greatH7229 seaH3221.1 3Then fourH703 greatH7260 beastsH2423 came upH5559 out ofH4481 the seaH3221, each oneH1668 differentH8133 fromH4481 the othersH1668:

4The firstH6933 beast was like a lionH744, and it had the wingsH1611 of an eagleH5403. IH1934 watchedH2370 untilH5705H1768 its wingsH1611 were torn offH4804 and it was lifted upH5191 fromH4481 the groundH772 and made to standH6966 onH5922 two feetH7271 like a manH606 and givenH3052 the mindH3825 of a manH606. 5SuddenlyH718 anotherH317 beast appearedH2423, whichH8578 looked likeH1821 a bearH1678. It was raised upH6966 on oneH2298 of its sidesH7859, and it had threeH8532 ribsH5967 in its mouthH6433 betweenH997 its teethH8128. SoH3652 it was toldH560, ‘Get upH6966 and gorge yourselfH399 on fleshH1321H7690!’ 6NextH870H1836, as IH1934 watchedH2370, suddenlyH718 another beast appearedH317. It was like a leopardH5245, and onH5922 its backH1355 it had fourH703 wingsH1611 like those ofH1768 a birdH5776. The beast alsoH2423 had fourH703 headsH7217, and it was givenH3052 authority to ruleH7985. 7AfterH870 thisH1836, as IH1934 watchedH2370 in my visionH2376 in the nightH3916, suddenlyH718 a fourthH7244 beast appearedH2423, and it was terrifyingH1763—dreadfulH574 and extremelyH3493 strongH8624—with largeH7260 ironH6523 teethH8128H1768. It devouredH399 and crushedH1855; then it trampledH7512H1932 underfootH7271 whatever was leftH7606. It was differentH8133 fromH4481 allH3606 the beastsH2423H1768 before itH6925, and it had tenH6236 hornsH7162. 8While I wasH1934 contemplatingH7920 the hornsH7162H431, suddenly anotherH317 hornH7162, a little oneH2192, came upH5559 among themH997, and threeH8532 ofH4481 the firstH6933 hornsH7162 were uprootedH6132 beforeH4481 itH6925H431. ThisH1668 hornH7162 had eyesH5870 like thoseH5870 of a manH606 and a mouthH6433 that spokeH4449 words of arroganceH7260.
