Daniel 8:1-7
1In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of BelshazzarH1112 the kingH4428 a visionH2377 appearedH7200 to me, 1DanielH1840, subsequentH310 to the one which appearedH7200 to me 2previouslyH8462. 2I 3lookedH7200 in the visionH2377, and while I was lookingH7200 I was in the citadelH1002 of 4SusaH7800, whichH834 is in the provinceH4082 of 5ElamH5867; and I lookedH7200 in the visionH2377 and I myselfH589 was besideH5921 the UlaiH195 6CanalH180. 3Then I liftedH5375 my eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, a 7ramH352 which had two hornsH7161 was standingH5975 in frontH6440 of the 8canalH180. Now the two hornsH7161 were 9longH1364, but oneH259 was 10longerH1364 thanH4480 the otherH8145, with the 11longerH1364 oneH1364 comingH5927 up lastH314. 4I sawH7200 the ramH352 12buttingH5055 westwardH3220, northwardH6828, and southwardH5045, and noH3808 other beastsH2421 could standH5975 beforeH6440 him norH369 was thereH369 anyone to rescueH5337 from his 13powerH3027, but 14he didH6213 as he pleasedH7522 and magnifiedH1431 himself.
5While I was observingH995, beholdH2009, a maleH6842 goatH6842 was comingH935 from the westH4628 overH5921 the surfaceH6440 of the wholeH3605 earthH776 withoutH369 touchingH5060 the groundH776; and the 15goatH6842 had a 16conspicuousH2380 hornH7161 betweenH996 his eyesH5869. 6He cameH935 up to the ramH352 that had the two hornsH7161, whichH834 I had seenH7200 standingH5975 in frontH6440 of the 17canalH180, and rushedH7323 at him in his mightyH3581 wrathH2534. 7I sawH7200 him comeH5060 besideH681 the ramH352, and he was enragedH4843 at him; and he struckH5221 the ramH352 and shatteredH7665 his twoH8147 hornsH7161, and the ramH352 hadH1961 noH3808 strengthH3581 to withstandH5975 him. So he hurledH7993 him to the groundH776 and trampledH7429 on him, and there was noneH3808 to rescueH5337 the ramH352 from his 18powerH3027.
