Daniel 7:2-14
2DanielH1841 1saidH6032H560, “I was 2lookingH2370 in my visionH2376 by nightH3916, and beholdH718, the 3fourH703 windsH7308 of heavenH8065 were stirringH1519 upH1519 the greatH7229 seaH3221. 3And fourH703 greatH7229 4beastsH2423 were comingH5559 upH5559 from the seaH3221, differentH8133 from oneH1668 anotherH1668. 4The firstH6933 was 5like a lionH744 but had the wingsH1611 of an eagleH5403. I keptH1934 lookingH2370 untilH5705H1768 its wingsH1611 were pluckedH4804, and it was liftedH5191 upH5191 from the groundH772 and setH6966 upH6966 on two feetH7271 like a manH606; a humanH606 6mindH3825 also was givenH3052 to it. 5And beholdH718, anotherH321 beastH2423, a secondH8578 one, resemblingH1821 a bearH1678. And it was raisedH6966 upH6966 on oneH2298 sideH7859, and threeH8532 ribsH5967 were in its mouthH6433 betweenH997 its teethH8128; and they saidH560 thisH3652 to it: ‘AriseH6966, devourH399 muchH7690 meatH1321!’ 6AfterH870 thisH1836 I keptH1934 lookingH2370, and beholdH718, anotherH321 one, 7like a leopardH5245, whichH1768 had on its 8backH1355 fourH703 wingsH1611 of a birdH5776; the beastH2423 also had 9fourH703 headsH7217, and dominionH7985 was givenH3052 to it. 7AfterH870 thisH1836 I keptH1934 lookingH2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, and beholdH718, a 10fourthH7244 beastH2423, dreadfulH1763 and terribleH368, and extremelyH3493 strongH8624; and it had largeH7229 ironH6523 teethH8128. It devouredH399 and crushedH1855, and trampledH7512 downH7512 the remainderH7606 with its feetH7271; and it was differentH8133 from allH3606 the beastsH2423 that were beforeH6925 it, and it had 11tenH6236 hornsH7162. 8While I was thinkingH7920 about the hornsH7162, beholdH431, 12anotherH321 hornH7162, a littleH2192 oneH2192, cameH5559 upH5559 amongH997 them, and threeH8532 of the previousH6933 hornsH7162 were pluckedH6132 outH6132 beforeH4481H6925 it; and beholdH431, 13thisH1668 hornH7162 possessed eyesH5870 like humanH606 eyesH5870, and 14a mouthH6433 utteringH4449 greatH7229 boasts.
9“I keptH1934 lookingH2370 UntilH5705H1768 15thronesH3764 were setH7412 up, And the AncientH6268 of DaysH3118 tookH3488 His seatH3488; His 16garmentH3831 was whiteH2358 as snowH8517, And the 17hairH8177 of His headH7217 like pureH5343 woolH6015. His 18throneH3764 was 19ablazeH5135 with flamesH7631, Its 20wheelsH1535 were a burningH1815 fireH5135.10A riverH5103 of 21fireH5135 was flowingH5047 And comingH5312 outH5312 from beforeH6925 Him; 22ThousandsH506 upon thousandsH506 were servingH8120 Him, And myriadsH7240 upon myriadsH7240 were standingH6966 beforeH6925 Him; The 23courtH1780 24convenedH3488, And 25the booksH5609 were openedH6606. 11ThenH116 I keptH1934 lookingH2370 becauseH4481 of the soundH7032 of the 26boastfulH7229 wordsH4406 whichH1768 the hornH7162 was speakingH4449; I keptH1934 lookingH2370 untilH5705H1768 the beastH2423 was killedH6992, and its bodyH1655 was destroyedH7 and givenH3052 to the 27burningH3346 28fireH785. 12As for the restH7606 of the beastsH2423, their dominionH7985 was takenH5709 awayH5709, but an extensionH754 of lifeH2417 was grantedH3052 to them for an appointedH2166 periodH2166 of timeH5732.
13“I keptH1934 lookingH2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, And beholdH718, with the cloudsH6050 of heavenH8065 One like a sonH1247 of manH606 was comingH858, And He cameH4291 upH4291 to the AncientH6268 of DaysH3118 And was presentedH7127 beforeH6925 Him.14And to Him was givenH3052 29dominionH7985, HonorH3367, and 3031a kingdomH4437, 32So that allH3606 the peoplesH5972, nationsH524, and populations of all 33languagesH3961 Might serveH6399 Him. 34His dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985 WhichH1768 will not passH5709 awayH5709; 35And His kingdomH4437 is one WhichH1768 will not be destroyedH2255.
