Daniel 8:21-27

21The shaggyH8163 1goatH5795 represents the 2kingdomH4428 of GreeceH3120, and the largeH1419 hornH7161 that is betweenH996 his eyesH5869 is the firstH7223 kingH4428. 22The 3brokenH7665 horn and the fourH702 horns that aroseH5975 in its placeH8478 represent fourH702 kingdomsH4438 which will ariseH5975 from his nationH1471, although not with his powerH3581.23In the latterH319 periodH319 of their 4ruleH4438, When the transgressorsH6586 have 5runH8552 their course, A kingH4428 will ariseH5975, 6InsolentH5794H6440 and skilledH995 in 7intrigueH2420.24His powerH3581 will be mightyH6105, but not by his own powerH3581, And he will 89destroyH7843 to an extraordinaryH6381 degreeH6381 And prosperH6743 and performH6213 his will; He will 10destroyH7843 mightyH6099 menH6099 and 11the holyH6918 peopleH5971.25And throughH5921 his shrewdnessH7922 He will cause deceitH4820 to succeedH6743 by his 12influenceH3027; And he will magnifyH1431 himself in his heartH3824, And he will 13destroyH7843 manyH7227 while they are 14at easeH7962. He will even 1516opposeH5975 the PrinceH8269 of princesH8269, But he will be brokenH7665 17withoutH657 18humanH3027 agencyH3027.26The visionH4758 of the eveningsH6153 and morningsH1242 WhichH834 has been toldH559 is 19trueH571; But 20keepH5640 the visionH2377 secretH5640, For it pertains to manyH7227 21daysH3117 in the future.”

27Then I, DanielH1840, was 2223exhaustedH1961 and sickH2470 for daysH3117. Then I gotH6965 up again and 24carriedH6213 on the king’sH4428 businessH4399; but I was astoundedH8074 at the visionH4758, and thereH369 was noneH369 to 25explainH995 it.
