Daniel 7:3-8

3And four great 1beasts were coming up from the sea, different from one another. 4The first was 2like a lion but had the wings of an eagle. I kept looking until its wings were plucked, and it was lifted up from the ground and set up on two feet like a man; a human 3mind also was given to it. 5And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and they said this to it: ‘Arise, devour much meat!’ 6After this I kept looking, and behold, another one, 4like a leopard, which had on its 5back four wings of a bird; the beast also had 6four heads, and dominion was given to it. 7After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a 7fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed, and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had 8ten horns. 8While I was thinking about the horns, behold, 9another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the previous horns were plucked out before it; and behold, 10this horn possessed eyes like human eyes, and 11a mouth uttering great boasts.
