Daniel 8:3-9
3Then I raised my eyes and looked, and behold, a 1ram which had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two horns were 2long, but one was 3longer than the other, with the 4longer one coming up last. 4I saw the ram 5butting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand against him nor was there anyone to rescue from his 6power, but 7he did as he pleased and made himself great.
5While I was observing, behold, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of the entire earth without touching the ground; and the goat had a 8prominent horn between his eyes. 6He came up to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing in front of the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty wrath. 7And I saw him come up beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and smashed his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was no one to rescue the ram from his 9power. 8Then the male goat made himself exceedingly great. But once 10he became powerful, the 11large horn was broken; and in its place four prominent horns came up toward the 12four winds of heaven.
9And out of one of them came a rather 13small horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the 1415Beautiful Land.
