Daniel 8:3-9

3Then I liftedH5375 my eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, a 1ramH352 which had two hornsH7161 was standingH5975 in frontH6440 of the 2canalH180. Now the two hornsH7161 were 3longH1364, but oneH259 was 4longerH1364 thanH4480 the otherH8145, with the 5longerH1364 oneH1364 comingH5927 up lastH314. 4I sawH7200 the ramH352 6buttingH5055 westwardH3220, northwardH6828, and southwardH5045, and noH3808 other beastsH2421 could standH5975 beforeH6440 him norH369 was thereH369 anyone to rescueH5337 from his 7powerH3027, but 8he 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 9goatH6842 had a 10conspicuousH2380 hornH7161 betweenH996 his eyesH5869. 6He cameH935 up to the ramH352 that had the two hornsH7161, whichH834 I had seenH7200 standingH5975 in frontH6440 of the 11canalH180, 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 12powerH3027. 8Then the maleH6842 goatH5795 magnifiedH1431 himself exceedinglyH5704H3966. But as soon as 13he was mightyH6105, the 14largeH1419 hornH7161 was brokenH7665; and in its placeH8478 there cameH5927 up fourH702 conspicuousH2380 horns toward the 15fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064.

9Out of oneH259 of them cameH3318 forthH3318 a rather 16smallH6810 hornH7161 which grewH1431 exceedinglyH3499 greatH1431 towardH413 the southH5045, towardH413 the eastH4217, and towardH413 the 1718BeautifulH6643 Land.
