Context of Daniel 7:15

13I continued to watch in my vision at night and this is what I saw: I saw someone who seemed like a son of man. He was coming towards me, with the clouds of the sky around him. He came near to the God who has ruled for ever. People took him to stand in front of God. 14God gave him great honour and authority to rule as king. The people of all nations and those who spoke every language agreed to serve him. He has authority to rule for ever. He will never stop being king. Nobody will be able to destroy his kingdom. I, Daniel, had much trouble in my mind. The things that I saw in my vision frightened me. 16So I spoke to someone who was standing near God's throne. I asked him to explain what all these things meant. He told me the meaning of my vision. 17He said, “The four large animals are four kings. They will rule kingdoms on the earth.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15I Daniel was grieved in my spirit - That is, I was troubled; or my heart was made heavy and sad.
