Daniel 8:1-14
1In the thirdH7969 yearH8141 of the reignH4438 of BelshazzarH1112 the kingH4428, a visionH2377 appearedH7200 to me, 1DanielH1840, subsequentH310 to the one which appearedH7200 to me 2previouslyH8462. 2I 3lookedH7200 in the visionH2377, and while I was lookingH7200, I was in the citadelH1002 of 4SusaH7800, whichH834 is in the provinceH4082 of 5ElamH5867; and I lookedH7200 in the visionH2377, and I myselfH589 was besideH5921 the UlaiH195 CanalH180. 3Then I raisedH5375 my eyesH5869 and lookedH7200, and beholdH2009, a 6ramH352 which had two hornsH7161 was standingH5975 in frontH6440 of the canalH180. Now the two hornsH7161 were 7longH1364, but oneH259 was 8longerH1364 thanH4480 the otherH8145, with the 9longerH1364 oneH1364 comingH5927 upH5927 lastH314. 4I sawH7200 the ramH352 10buttingH5055 westwardH3220, northwardH6828, and southwardH5045, and noH3808 other beastsH2421 could standH5975 againstH6440 him norH369 wasH369 thereH369 anyoneH369 to rescueH5337 from his 11powerH3027, but 12he didH6213 as he pleasedH7522 and madeH1431 himself greatH1431.
5While I was observingH995, beholdH2009, a maleH6842 goatH6842 was comingH935 from the westH4628 overH5921 the surfaceH6440 of the entireH3605 earthH776 withoutH369 touchingH5060 the groundH776; and the goatH6842 had a 13prominentH2380 hornH7161 betweenH996 his eyesH5869. 6He cameH935 up to the ramH352 that had the two hornsH7161, whichH834 I had seenH7200 standingH5975 in frontH6440 of the canalH180, and rushedH7323 at him in his mightyH3581 wrathH2534. 7And I sawH7200 him comeH5060 up besideH681 the ramH352, and he wasH4843 enragedH4843 at him; and he struckH5221 the ramH352 and smashedH7665 his twoH8147 hornsH7161, and the ramH352 hadH1961 noH3808 strengthH3581 to withstandH5975 him. So he hurledH7993 him to the groundH776 and trampledH7429 onH7429 him, and there was noH3808 one to rescueH5337 the ramH352 from his 14powerH3027. 8Then the maleH6842 goatH5795 madeH1431 himself exceedinglyH5704H3966 greatH1431. But once 15he becameH6105 powerfulH6105, the 16largeH1419 hornH7161 was brokenH7665; and inH8478 its placeH8478 fourH702 prominentH2380 horns cameH5927 upH5927 toward the 17fourH702 windsH7307 of heavenH8064.
9And outH3318 of oneH259 of them cameH3318 a rather 18smallH6810 hornH7161 which grewH1431 exceedinglyH3499 greatH1431 towardH413 the southH5045, towardH413 the eastH4217, and towardH413 the 1920BeautifulH6643 Land. 10It grewH1431 upH1431 to the heavenlyH8064 21lightsH6635, and someH4480 of the 22lightsH6635, 23that is, someH4480 of the 24starsH3556 it threwH5307 downH5307 to the earthH776, and it 25trampledH7429 them. 11It even 26exaltedH1431 itself 27to be equalH5704 with the 28CommanderH8269 of the armyH6635; and it removedH7311 the 29regularH8548 sacrificeH8548 from Him, and the placeH4349 of His sanctuaryH4720 was overthrownH7993. 12And because of 30an offenseH6588 the armyH6635 will be givenH5414 to the horn alongH5921 withH5921 the regularH8548 sacrificeH8548; and it will 31hurlH7993 truthH571 to the groundH776 and doH6213 as it pleases and beH6743 successfulH6743. 13Then I heardH8085 a 32holyH6918 oneH6918 speakingH1696, and anotherH259 holyH6918 oneH6918 saidH559 to that particularH6423 oneH6423 who was speakingH1696, “33HowH4970 longH5704H4970 will the visionH2377 about the regularH8548 sacrificeH8548 apply, 34while the offenseH6588 causesH8074 horrorH8074, so as to allowH5414 both the sanctuaryH6944 and the armyH6635 35to be 36trampledH4823?” 14And he saidH559 to me, “For 372,300H505H7969H3967 eveningsH6153 and morningsH1242; then the sanctuaryH6944 will be 38properlyH6663 restoredH6663.”
